Bensaltenside is a mixture of Quarternary Ammonium Combines and is
used as a cleaning substance in -among other things- cosmetic and hygiene
products in concentrations up to 5%.
Antimicrobic liquids are included as active components in Bensaltenside
to prevent growth and to kill microorganisms –for example bacteria,
fungi, algae, virus and bacteria spores.
Bensaltenside is active [positively charged] and penetrates the material
[the pores] and gives the long lasting protection.
Disinfection neutralizes pathogenic micro-organisms and the risk of
transmission of the infection becomes very small.
Sterilization neutralizes all micro-organisms in an environment.
Preservation with antimicrobic substances prevents micro-organisms to
destroy products –for example hydrous chemicotechnical products
or food.
Antiseptic liquids contain an antimicrobic substance that disinfects
–and is so gentle that it is used on humans or animals tissues.
Bacteriostatical and fungicidal substances check the growth of bacteria
respective fungi without killing the organism.
Antimicrobic substances can constitute an environmental danger by decreasing
the activity of –or totally stop- the micro-organisms in purifying
plants with biological purification.
