How long should BAC be left on moss before it rains for it to work?

I used BAC recently and it rained a bit during the night. Would this
reduce effectiveness or would BAC have done its work by then?

It can take a couple of weeks for the moss to die off and I would like to
know before then if I should re-apply BAC.

All your posts are about killing off plants, are you trying to wind this
experience Gardening Group up. Do you actually have any plants to kill?

BAC50 is no longer permitted for use in removing moss due to plant
protection legislation.

It's is the same chemical as used in a multitude of commercial moss
killers on sale in every garden centre.

Maybe Geoff got confused between BAC50 and the lower dilutions it is
available in.

Presumably if you use BAC50 to kill lichen and algae then it's okay,
which makes it another example of a silly regulation to be ignored.

It's used in baby wipes. (probably diluted) :)

The safety factor of benzalkonium chloride allows its use in a wide
range of leave-on skin sanitisers and sanitary baby wipes. BAC 50 is
widely used as a preservative in ophthalmic, nasal and aural
pharmaceutical preparations as well as to optimise emolliency and
substantivity in formulations.

It's not "BAC 50" but BAC (or somtimes ADBAC).

You're still conflating BAC with a commonly available concentration and
have quoted text from a supplier's trade name for one specified
concentration.

But commonly sold by manufactures as a 50% w/w concentration

Search for suppliers of BAC on Ebay and all the relevant products will
be BAC50.

The supplier that I linked to also do a 85% concentration, BAC85

Yes, BAC50 is the name of a product not the name of the compound.

Products like Patio Magic (in the UK), sold as a concentrate, are less
than 50% BAC.
