PHMB

Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB) is a highly effective, low toxic antimicrobial agent which has been commercially used for over 75 years.

PHMB has a unique mode of action:

• Binds to bacterial phospholipids (outer) membrane

• Bacteria cells’ protective layers disintegrate

• Collapses and dies leaving a skeleton

• Nothing is left behind to mutate or replicate
