Other Information
The EU classification refers to a group of substances known as quaternary ammonium compounds, benzyl C8-18-alkyldimethyl chlorides.Benzalkonium chloride itself is a mixture of very similar substances with different chain length and molecular mass.Other CAS RN: 8001-54-5; Other UN numbers are possible, depending on manufacturers′classifications.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.This substance is usually commercially available as a solution.Strong solutions (>10%) are corrosive.
