Polykonium

COMPOSITION

INTRODUCTION

Benzalkonium Chloride also known as Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride is a Quarternary Ammonium Compound with exceptional microbial properties when used as a disinfectant sanitizer, deodorant, germicide and algicide.

Benzalkonium has many uses in various fields. Polykonium is a unique combination of Benzalkonium Chloride and Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate (non-ionic detergent) Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate increases the dispersion of Benzalkonium Chloride as well as its effectiveness against most commonly found bacteria. Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate also increases the detergent properties of Benzalkonium Chloride. This powerful combination makes Polykonium a very potent and effective germicidal and antiseptic solution

APPLICATIONS

Hospitals and Nursing Homes: Spraying in sterile rooms, mopping of floors and walls, cleaning of surgical and orthopedic equipment pre-operative scrubs, hand washing etc. Useful for Infection control: In various industries such as: Hotels and Restaurants, Poultry and Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Food Processing, Pharmaceutical, Swimming Pools, Cooling Towers, Sugar, Food Processing, Timber, Papers, very effective for Household use etc.

Cooling Towers – In various Industries, Hotels, Hospitals and Cinema House if not treated chemically get contaminated giving rise to serious problems. The Microorganisms found in cooling towers can be classified as, Bacteria: Which are more or less free swimming in the water, Algae: Which attach themselves to the tower structure and Fungi: Which invade and destroy the wood in the cooling towers. Polykonium

METHOD OF APPLICATION FOR COOLING TOWERS

A 0.5% (1:200) solution of POLYKONIUM in water is sufficient for an initial dosage, followed by a weekly dosage of 2% (1:500) solution. This will eliminate all fungi, algae and most of the bacteria. POLYKONIUM dilute solution can be fed manually into the cold water at the intake point of circulating pumps. It should be added gradually to avoid foaming.

ADVANTAGES

  • Anti Microbial Properties : It helps disrupt membranes and denature proteins of the microorganism. It effectively kills bacteria.
  • Economical : Polykonium is highly concentrated and is to be used in very dilute solution. Even 0.5% to 2% solution works under most circumstances.
  • Stable : Polykonium is stable in a wide range of pH from 6 to 9 even at elevated temperatures.
  • Polykonium is an excellent biocide : The term biocide covers all the different application where the Benzalkonium Chloride solution can be used to destroy microorganism, cells or to prevent their growth.
