PRODUCT INFORMATION

SANISOL RC-A
( 50 % Benzalkonium Chloride )
SANISOL RC-A is a cationic Surface Active Agent, exhibit a strong power of
bactericidal and antiseptic. Cresol soap solution and phenol, formalin, meranic chloride
solution, etc. have been employed as bactericides or antiseptic. However, these odor and
their range of usage are rather limited. On the other hand, cationic bactericides has a far
stronger bactericidal powder than the chemicals which mentioned above and have no
such deficiencies usually known among the common bactericides mentioned above.
SANISOL RC-A manufactured from coconut oil as the major of vegetable oil source in
Asia by careful chemical and biological controls. SANISOL RC-A is a 50 percent solution
of Benzalkonium Chloride .

As shown in the table (2), the germicidal power may be doubled when pH becomes 11.
Accordingly, it is recommendable to add alkali like triethanolamine to SANISOL RC-A
solution to obtain optimum effect, provided the addition of alkali is harmless.

3. The Germicidal Power on Comma bacillus

The evaluation of germicidal power of SANISOL RC-A on Comma bacillus,
conducted at the Osaka University, resulted as follows, and shows as much germicidal
power as against Eberthella typhosa.
