Highly effective at killing bacteria, fungi and viruses, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have been found in many common disinfectant products. The outbreak of pandemic has increased the need for greater amounts of QACs. Specialized in chemical industry for many years, Alfa Chemistry is now capable of providing an extensive catalog of quaternary ammonium compounds for customers worldwide, especially for the manufacturer of disinfectant products.
QACs are surface-active agents. Some of them precipitate or denature proteins and destroy microorganisms. Owing to their advantageous properties, such as good stability and toxicology, surface activity and compatibility with cleaner formulation ingredients, and lack of odor, QACs are very suitable for consumer products that combine cleaning with disinfection.
Classified by anion, QACs can be grouped into: halide quaternary ammonium salts, acid radical quaternary ammonium salts, polyquaternium, quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and quaternary phosphonium compounds.
QACs can be used for a variety of purposes including as preservatives, surfactants, antistatic agents and as active ingredients in disinfectants and sanitizers. More specifically, at Alfa Chemistry, visitors can search the quaternary ammonium compounds they need by functions.

Quaternary ammonium compounds, also known as quat, are aromatic amino acid structures that are negatively charged and non-polarizable.
Because of the dipoles, the molecules can form a polar complex.
In the presence of an electric field and a suitable catalyst, this polar complex is transformed to a dipole.
The compounds are made from a variety of amine groups in a variety of methods.
One way includes treating a hydrogen-bonding peptide with an agent like ammonia or sodium hydroxide.
After that, the amines are treated with a combination of oxygen and ozone.
