Abstract
⺠Nonionic surfactants inhibit the biocidal activity of quaternary ammonium surfactants. ⺠Co-micellization decreases the concentration of unimers of the biocidal surfactant. ⺠Cationic unimers exhibit a biocidal activity unlike micellized cationic surfactants. ⺠The biocidal activity of cationic surfactants is maintained when mixed with C10Ej. ⺠The biocidal activity of cationic surfactants is strongly inhibited with C12Ej.
