Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QACs or QATs) and similar cationic detergents are used as sanitizing germicides in catering, the food and drinks industry and similar applications. The uses of these products include the washing of utensils and equipment, surface cleaning, dish washing rinse water and other applications where germ-free conditions must be maintained.
The QAC test method provides a simple method of measuring the QAC level in detergent solutions over the range 0-500mg/l. It can also be used as a simple control test for QAC levels at 200mg/l - a commonly used concentration.
Commercial detergent products may contain different types of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds or other cationic compounds in solutions of varying concentration, and may be formulated with other ingredients. To calculate the dosage of commercial products from the test result, regard must be paid to the active content of the detergent in use.
Each kit contains 100 tablets and a test tube. Read the instructions on the label carefully before use.
