Quats are commonly used at a level of 6% in combination with compatible nonionic surfactants. These household products are called disinfectant cleaners. The efficacy of these products has to be evaluated for each formula, regardless of quat content. Optimum germ inactivation is obtained with a ratio of 1 part nonionic for 2.5 parts of cationic. Increasing the nonionic level inhibits the disinfecting efficacy by trapping the quat inside the nonionic micelles. The rinsability of quats is also better at this ratio, regardless of the nature of the support material [7].

Alkylphenol ethoxylates are chemically stable and highly versatile surfactants that find appHcation in a large variety of industrial products including acid and alkaline metal cleaning formulations, hospital cleaners, herbicides (qv) and insecticides, oil-weU drilling fluids, synthetic latices, and many others (see Disinfectants AND antiseptics Elastop rs, synthetic Insect control technology Metal surface treati nts Pesticides Petroleum, drilling fluids). 

The quaternary ammonium compounds (qv) are manufactured by the reaction of an alkyl halide with a tertiary amine. The alkyl halide may be short-chain, long-chain, or benzyl. Selection of a long-chain alkyl group yields structures with variable composition and greatly adds to the chemical complexity inherent in this group. Investigation of structure-activity relationships has led to claims for superior efficacy or compatibility, most notedly with anionic surfactants in disinfectant-detergent cleaner systems, of closely related compounds in the family. 

Surfactants based on aliphatic alcohols are used as cleaners in both domestic and industrial applications. They provide excellent properties such as wetting, dispersion, and emulsification. The ethoxylates derived from alkylphenols are chemically stable and highly versatile, finding more use in industrial practice than in domestic applications. They are used both as processing aids and as components in various products. Their applications include metal cleaning, hospital cleaners and disinfectants, agricultural chemical formulation surfactants, insecticides and herbicides, oil-well drilling fluids, and many others. 

Most bleach cleaners, however, are simple, water-thin solutions. The most common formulations are a simple combination of hypochlorite bleach, sodium hydroxide (to achieve a pH of 10 to 12), amine oxide surfactant, and a low quantity of perfume. However, despite their simplicity, these types of products are very effective stain removers and disinfectants. 

In the course of formulating all-purpose cleaners there may be a need for other minor ingredients in addition to the main cleaners (the surfactant, solvent, or builder). These ingredients include hydrotropes, hard water control, and buffers. These ingredients do not include any that are added for special benefits such as shine enhancement, disinfection, soil release, etc. 

Disinfection is also a benefit desired by consumers in toilet bowl cleaning. This can be achieved with quaternary ammonium surfactants, as in bathroom and allpurpose cleaners. Quats are effective bactericides at both low (1 to 4) and high (8 to 12) pH and so are compatible with very acidic toilet bowl cleaners. One of the problems with disinfection is knowing whether the product has been used at the proper dilution, and one toilet bowl cleaner formula gives the signal via a pH-dependent dye [375],...
