Benzethonium Chloride (CAS 121-54-0)
From the CA DFG testing report: Superficial cracks on rubber toes and
heals of wading boots may occur. Water may not bead up on the outside
of the waders. Integrity of boot is not compromised.
Mixture ratio: 1940 mg/Liter of water or 7.34 grams/gallon - 97% pure
Benzethonium Chloride ( from Ca DFG report)
For 98.8% Pure Benzethonium Chloride dissolve 7.43 grams per 1 gallon
of water.
For 90% Pure Benzethonium Chloride dissolve 8.16 grams per 1 gallon
of water.
For 50% Pure Benzethonium Chloride dissolve 14.85 grams per 1 gallon
of water.
Assuming that you are using a 5 gallon bucket with 4 gallons of
solution you would need 30 grams of 98.8% pure Benzethonium
Chloride. This will be a white powder.

Whirling Disease:
On the Whirling Disease Foundation's website, article "Prevention
Methods for Anglers", it says that quaternary ammonium compounds
(QAC) are effective for killing both phases of Whirling Disease. It
list Bright Water™ as one of the products. A google
search does not turn up any sources for this product. (Scott rods appears
to be the owner of the trade name Bright Water. Emails to Scott Rods
has gone un answered. I believe this was an unsuccessful product for
Scott when WD first came about) The WDF article also says that Roccal
-D and Parvosol also contain quaternary ammonium compounds
and are manufacturered for the pet/veternary trade. A google search
shows several online businesses that sell these two products. A check
of Petsmart on line shows that they carry a quaternary ammonium
disinfectant, Ken-Care kennel disinfectant.
These products were not tested in the California Department of Fish
and Games NZMS Wader testing program.
