General Description

Poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) (PHMB) is a synthetic polymer with broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, commonly used in various industries including healthcare, personal care products, and water treatment. PHMB is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It works by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their inactivation and eventual death. PHMB is considered safe for use in products intended for skin contact, and it is known for its long-lasting antimicrobial activity and minimal toxicity to humans and the environment. As a result, PHMB has become a popular choice for controlling microbial contamination in a variety of applications.
