Properties and Applications

BKC-1227 is a cationic surfactant and a non-oxidizing biocide with broad-spectrum, high-efficiency bactericidal and algicidal properties. It effectively controls microbial and algal growth in water systems, removes biofilms, and exhibits dispersing, penetrating, deodorizing, and mild corrosion-inhibiting effects.

Low in toxicity and non-cumulative, BKC-1227 is highly water-soluble and unaffected by water hardness. It is widely used in industrial circulating cooling water systems (e.g., petroleum, chemical, power, textile) to prevent microbial contamination, particularly against sulfate-reducing bacteria.

In the textile industry, BKC-1227 serves as a fungicide, mildew preventive, softener, antistatic agent, emulsifier, and conditioning agent.
