Manufacturers, Exporters and Suppliers of Benzalkonium Chloride BKC 50% – Broad Spectrum Biocide for Water Treatment & Disinfection in Ethiopia

Innova Corporate (India) supplies Benzalkonium Chloride 50% (BKC 50) – a broad-spectrum quaternary ammonium biocide for Ethiopia's industrial and institutional sanitation needs. This product is highly effective against bacteria (including Legionella), algae, and fungi – especially problematic during Ethiopia's rainy season (June-September, humidity 60-80%) and in cooling towers, water storage tanks, and process water systems. For Ethiopia's textile industrial parks (Hawassa, Bole Lemi, Kombolcha), BKC 50 is used as a slime control agent in recirculating cooling systems and as a disinfectant for water storage tanks. For leather tanneries (Addis Ababa, Modjo Leather City), it controls biofilm in soaking and tanning drums, preventing bacterial damage to hides. For food and beverage processing (coffee wet mills, sugar refineries, dairy, juice plants), it is used as a sanitizer for food contact surfaces and equipment. The 50% concentration allows economical shipping and on-site dilution. It exhibits strong synergy with non-oxidizing biocides like glutaraldehyde and isothiazolinone. However, it is incompatible with anionic polymers – proper feed separation is advised. For Ethiopia's hospitals (Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa) and hotels, BKC 50 is used as a surface disinfectant. For cooling towers in textile and food plants, residual activity lasts 3-5 days. Available in 25L, 200L drums. We provide quat test strips and Legionella testing kits for compliance monitoring. For food-grade applications (dairy, beverages, coffee processing), we offer a food-grade quat with NSF certification.
