This chemical is widely used as a biocide and disinfectant in various industries. It is particularly effective in water treatment processes, where it helps control the growth of bacteria, algae, and fungi in cooling towers, swimming pools, and industrial water systems. Additionally, it is utilized in the preservation of paints, coatings, and adhesives, preventing microbial contamination and extending the shelf life of these products. In the healthcare sector, it serves as an active ingredient in antiseptic and sanitizing solutions for surface disinfection. Its antimicrobial properties also make it suitable for use in cleaning products for household and institutional applications. Due to its polymerizable methacrylate group, it functions as a reactive antimicrobial monomer in the synthesis of polycationic polymers for applications in medical devices, textiles, and functional coatings with inherent antimicrobial activity.
