What is quaternary ammonium sanitizer?

Jul 25, 2024

Quaternary ammonium sanitizers, also known as quats or quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), are a type of disinfectant commonly used in cleaning and sanitizing applications. They are composed of organic compounds that contain a quaternary ammonium cation, which is a positively charged ion with four organic groups attached to a central nitrogen atom.

 

Quaternary ammonium sanitizers have strong antimicrobial properties and are effective against a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae. They work by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation or death.

 

These sanitizers come in various forms, including solutions, wipes, and sprays. They are widely used in hospitals, food processing facilities, restaurants, schools, and other settings where effective disinfection and sanitization are required.
