00-2572 – BAK 1:750 Benzalkonium Chloride Disinfectant
Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.
Overview
The 00-2572 is a professional-grade, broad-spectrum disinfectant solution featuring Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK) at a ready-to-use 1:750 dilution. This formulation is engineered to provide effective antimicrobial action against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, while remaining exceptionally safe for use on the sensitive materials found in modern aircraft cabins and cockpits. As an alcohol-free, non-corrosive, and non-staining solution, it is the ideal choice for flight departments, MROs, and detailing operations that require a high level of sanitation without the risk of damaging high-value interior components.
Key Features
- Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial: Benzalkonium Chloride is a powerful Quaternary Ammonium Compound that is highly effective at disrupting the cellular membranes of a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, providing comprehensive disinfecting and sanitizing action.
- Non-Corrosive & Material Safe: The formula is non-corrosive to all common aerospace metals, including aluminum alloys. It is also non-staining and safe for use on most plastics, fabrics, leather seating surfaces, and composites found in the aircraft interior.
- Alcohol-Free Formula: Crucially, this disinfectant is alcohol-free. This prevents the crazing, cracking, or fogging that alcohol-based cleaners can cause on sensitive acrylic windows, polycarbonate instrument displays, and varnished wood finishes.
- Low Toxicity & Odor: The 1:750 dilution is a standard for antiseptic and sanitizing applications, offering effective performance with low toxicity and a mild, non-irritating odor, making it suitable for use in the confined space of an aircraft cabin.
- Ready-To-Use Solution: Provided in a stable, ready-to-use dilution, eliminating the need for mixing or activating, which ensures consistent performance and safety.

The antimicrobial mechanism of action for Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK) is based on its cationic (positively charged) molecular structure. The cell membranes of bacteria and other microorganisms are negatively charged. The positively charged BAK molecule is strongly attracted to the microbial cell wall and, upon contact, causes a disruption of the molecular bonds. This increases the permeability of the cell membrane, leading to the leakage of essential cytoplasmic contents and ultimately, cell death. This method of physical disruption is effective against a wide range of microbes and is less likely to lead to microbial resistance compared to other chemical agents.
Note: For use as a disinfectant or sanitizer only. Follow all instructions for application, including dwell time on surfaces to ensure efficacy. While safe for most surfaces, it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Keep out of reach of children. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for complete safety and handling information.
