The real skinny on BZK's effectiveness, efficacy, and persistence. Persistence is a fancy term for how long the anti-bacterial activity lasts.

In this study, BZK went toe to toe against alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

Demonstrating Benzalkonium Chloride (BZK) Hand Sanitizer Efficacy on Human Skin at 1, 2, and 4 Hours After Application

BTW the CDC cautions that PROPER use of alcohol to reach full effectiveness is 30 seconds. Problem one with that is no one rubs their hands for 30 seconds. Most rub their hands for 5 seconds and then wipe the rest off on their pants. The second problem is the evaporation rate of alcohol.

CDC Conclusions

We found that SARS-CoV-2 was efficiently inactivated by WHO-recommended formulations, supporting their use in healthcare systems and viral outbreaks. Of note, both the original and modified formulations were able to reduce viral titers to background level within 30 s. In addition, ethanol and 2-propanol were efficient in inactivating the virus in 30 s at a concentration of >30% (vol/vol). Alcohol constitutes the basis for many hand rubs routinely used in healthcare settings. One caveat of this study is the defined inactivation time of exactly 30s, which is the time recommended but not routinely performed in practice. Our findings are crucial to minimize viral transmission and maximize virus inactivation in the current SARS-CoV-2 outbreak.

For some reason the CDC has chosen not to publicize that 'in practice' then, most consumers are NOT being protected and moving around town with a false sense of security. This is the CDC's words, not mine. So the question is do your want you and your family using BZK or Purell? Read the full study and decide for yourself.
