About this deal
Excellent product from a highly reputable supplier/manufacturer. Make your own Patio Magic, Wet and Forget etc simply by diluting with water.
Goes substantially further than the branded products because it's substantially more concentrated.
BAC 50 Benzalkonium Chloride Concentrated
Benzalkonium chloride (BAC 50) is a quaternary ammonium-based product. It can be used for the preparation of disinfectants, cleaners and timber preservation formulations and other similar applications.
Applications:
- Disinfectant
- Used as a preservative in cosmetics
- Used in formulations of mils cleaners
- Phase transfer agent
- Microbe corrosion inhibition in the oil industry
Directions of use:
The advised dilution ratio is 1:8 (one-part Bac 50 and eight parts of water). It can be as high as 1:40 application dependant.
Spray and leave formula:
Apply the solution to the affected area and leave it to work. If needed, the advised dilution ratio can be increased.
The product must be used on dry surfaces with no rain forecast for at least 8 hours.
Benzalkonium chloride is readily soluble in ethanol, IPA and acetone. Although dissolution in water is slow, aqueous solutions are easier to handle and are preferred. Solutions should be neutral to slightly alkaline, with colour ranging from colourless to a pale yellow. Solutions foam profusely when shaken.
100% UK manufactured product.
Specification and Material Safety Data Sheet are available upon request.

Patio Magic Concentrate (7.5% benzalkonium chloride) recommends the following:
Destroys mould, algae and lichens on all kinds of hard surfaces including brick paving, patios, glass, perspex, garden furniture, walls, paved areas and driveways. Also suitable for indoor use and as a pre-paint fungicidal wash.
Apply to dry surfaces only. Always test on a small area before use. For normal infestations, dilute 1 part of product with 4 parts of water. For light infestations, dilute 1 part of product with 9 parts
of water. Apply 1 litre of diluted product per 3-7m² of surface
BAC-50 is 50% benzalkonium chloride, so 6.6 times stronger than Patio Magic Concentrate.
If you follow the Patio Magic Concentrate recommendations, but remember to dilute it 6 times more, you'll be about right.
What makes this stuff so good is that it's exactly the same as Patio Magic Concentrate (around £20 for 5 litres) but 6-7 times more concentrated. When you buy Patio Magic you're paying mainly for the added water, the additional transport costs, and of course the name.
I find a pressure washer (just water) works perfectly for patio cleaning.
£14.99 from Liquipak eBay, I got this last week.
I've always used 1:20
If I put this on my drive (block paved), will it kill the weeds between the block paving too?
Also, is this safe to put on exterior walls to kill algae growth or will it damage the wall?
Thank you
It won't kill weeds very well at all, you need Gallup XL for that (Glyphosate) in a 1:40 mix
