See explanation.
Explanation:
Chemical terminology can be translated. Usually, it is a change in spelling, with a slight change at the end of the term.

The translation for
'n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides' is
'n-alkil dimetil benzil ammonium klorida'

Virucidal (this is the adjective of 'virucide') means "destroying or inhibiting viruses"
Fungicidal (this is the adjective of 'fungicide') means "destroying or inhibiting the growth of fungus"
The translation would be "racun virus" or "pembunuh virus" and "racun kulat" or "pembunuh kulat".
