(Antiseptic / Preservative)
by Muby Chem
Muby Chem operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility producing Benzalkonium Chloride Solution known for its exceptional purity and efficacy.
Our advanced manufacturing technology ensures high-quality Benzalkonium Chloride Solution, meeting stringent performance and consistency standards.
Applications: MOLCHLOR® BKC is primarily used as a preservative in ophthalmic formulations, maintaining sterility and extending product shelf life in multidose containers. It is widely incorporated in glaucoma treatments, corticosteroid eye drops and general ophthalmic preparations to prevent microbial contamination during repeated use. In some cases, diluted Benzalkonium Chloride solutions are used for surface disinfection or instrument cleaning, although such applications are limited due to potential cytotoxicity. While highly effective as a preservative, prolonged exposure in ophthalmic use may lead to ocular surface irritation, especially in chronic therapy.
