Benzalkonium chloride is often used as an antistatic agent in various industries, including the textile, plastics, and electronics industries. It is a quaternary ammonium compound that is effective in reducing or eliminating static electricity on surfaces.
When used as an antistatic agent, benzalkonium chloride is typically applied as a thin film or coating on the surface of the material. It works by forming a layer that helps to dissipate or neutralize static charges, preventing the buildup of electrostatic discharge (ESD).Benzalkonium chloride is preferred as an antistatic agent due to its low toxicity, effectiveness at low concentrations, and compatibility with a wide range of materials. It is also stable and long-lasting, providing pro…
