Non oxidizing bactericidal agents refer to a type of chemical substance that does not rely on oxidation reactions and is used to kill bacteria and algae. They usually chemically destroy the cellular structure or physiological functions of microorganisms, and have strong bactericidal and algal killing effects. The following are several common non oxidizing bactericidal and algicidal agents:
Quaternary ammonium salt fungicides: such as benzalkonium chloride, dimethyl dodecyl ammonium bromide, etc. These compounds have good bactericidal effects and broad-spectrum inhibitory effects on different types of bacteria and algae.
Polyol fungicides: such as polyether polyols (poly (oxyethylene) glycol) and polyethylene glycol (polyethylene glycol). These compounds can achieve bactericidal and algal effects by interfering with the cell membrane structure and function of bacteria and algae.
Organic acid fungicides: such as citric acid, acetic acid, etc. These organic acids can alter the acid-base balance of microorganisms, interfere with intracellular metabolic processes, and thus kill bacteria and algae.
Photosynthetic inhibitors: such as some specific ketone compounds. They interfere with the photosynthesis process of bacteria and algae, disrupt their energy metabolism, and achieve the effect of inhibiting growth and killing.
It should be noted that when using non oxidizing bactericidal agents, appropriate doses and operating methods should be selected based on the specific situation to ensure safety, environmental protection, and comply with relevant regulations and usage guidelines. In addition, different bactericidal and algal agents have different effects on different microorganisms, therefore, product instructions and recommendations should be carefully understood when selecting and using them.
