Specifications of Benzalkonium Chloride BP Ph Eur Grade:
CAS 8001-54-5
Action and use: Antiseptic.

DEFINITION
Mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides, the alkyl groups mainly having chain lengths of C12, C14and C16.
Content: 95.0 per cent to 104.0 per cent of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides (anhydrous substance) calculated using the average relative molecular mass.

CHARACTERS
Appearance: White or yellowish-white powder or gelatinous, yellowish-white fragments, hygroscopic. On heating it forms a clear molten mass.
Solubility: Very soluble in water and in ethanol (96 per cent). An aqueous solution froths copiously when shaken.

IDENTIFICATION
First identification: B, E
Second identification: A, C, D, E
A. Ultraviolet and visible absorption spectrophotometry - To pass the test.
B. Examine the chromatograms obtained in the test for average relative molecular mass and ratio of alkyl components.
Results The principal peaks in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution are similar in retention time to the principal peaks in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution.
C. To 2 mL of solution S (see Tests) add 0.1 mL of glacial acetic acid and, drop-wise, 1 mL of sodium tetraphenylborate solution. A white precipitate is formed. Filter. Dissolve the precipitate in a mixture of 1 mL of acetone and 5 mL of ethanol (96 per cent) heating to not more than 70C. Add water drop-wise to the warm solution until a slight opalescence forms. Heat gently until the solution is clear and allow to cool. White crystals separate. Filter, wash with 3 quantities, each of 10 mL, of water and dry in vacuo overdiphosphorus pentoxide or anhydrous silica gel at a temperature not exceeding 50C. The crystals melt at 127C to 133C.
D. To 5 mL of dilute sodium hydroxide solution add 0.1 mL of bromophenol blue solution and 5 mL of methylene chloride and shake. The methylene chloride layer is colourless. Add 0.1 mL of solution S and shake. The methylene chloride layer becomes blue.
E. To 2 mL of solution S add 1 mL of dilute nitric acid. A white precipitate is formed which dissolves on the addition of 5 mL of ethanol (96 per cent). The solution gives reaction of chlorides.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 1.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water and dilute to 100 mL with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is clear and not more intensely coloured than reference solution.
Acidity or alkalinity: To 50 mL of solution S add 0.1 mL of bromocresol purple solution. Not more than 0.1 mL of0.1 hydrochloric acid or 0.1 M sodium hydroxide is required to change the colour of the indicator.

Alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride CAS 8001-54-5.

Benzalkonium Chloride is a mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides of the general formula: [C6H5CH2N(CH3)2R]Cl in which R represents a mixture of alkyls, including all or some of the group beginning with n-C8H17 and extending through higher homologs, with n-C12H25, n-C14H29, and n-C16H33 comprising the major portion. On the anhydrous basis, the content of the n-C12H25 homolog is not less than 40.0 percent, and the content of the n-C14H29 homolog is not less than 20.0 percent, of the total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride content. The amounts of the n-C12H25 and n-C14H29 homolog components comprise together not less than 70.0 percent of the total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride content. The total alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride content, calculated on the anhydrous basis, allowance being made for the amount of residue on ignition, is not less than 97.0 percent and not more than 103.0 percent of [C6H5CH2N(CH3)2R]Cl.

Identification:
A: To a solution (1 in 100) add 2 N nitric acid or mercuric chloride TS: a white precipitate is formed, and it is soluble in alcohol.
B: Dissolve about 200 mg in 1 mL of sulfuric acid, add 100 mg of sodium nitrate, and heat on a steam bath for 5 minutes. Cool, dilute with water to 10 mL, add 500 mg of zinc dust, and warm for 5 minutes on a steam bath. To 2 mL of the clear supernatant add 1 mL of sodium nitrite solution (1 in 20), cool in ice water, then add 3 mL of a solution of 500 mg of 2-naphthol in 10 mL of 6 N ammonium hydroxide: an orange-red color is produced.
C: A solution of it in a mixture of equal volumes of water and alcohol responds to the tests for Chloride.
Water: not more than 15.0%.
Residue on ignition: not more than 2.0%.
Water-insoluble matter: A solution (1 in 10) is free from turbidity and insoluble matter.
Limit of foreign amines: To 5 mL of a solution (1 in 50) add 3 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide: no precipitate is formed. Heat to boiling: the odor of amines is not perceptible.
Ratio of alkyl components: To pass the test.

Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should evacuate to a safe place.

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Ventilate area of leak or spill. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment cleanup procedures and Storage: Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g., sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container. Avoid mist formation. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Wear full protective equipment and ensure proper ventilation.

Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents and strong acids & alkalis and reducing agents. Keep away from heat and source of fire preferably in a ventilated area. Keep in tightly closed container. Do not breathe mist or dust. Do not store near food items.

Airborne Exposure Limits: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron, or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full-face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Dust deposits on floors and other surfaces may pick up moisture and cause the surfaces to become slippery and present safety hazards. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands after handling.
