Details:

Vantocil P is an aqueous antimicrobial polymer solution of poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) used as a broad spectrum disinfectant and preservative in industrial and consumer formulations; it functions primarily to inhibit microbial growth.

Applications:
- Personal care & cosmetics — preservative support to help prevent spoilage in formulations like lotions, cleansers, and wipes.
- Hard-surface cleaners & disinfectants — active ingredient for sanitizing sprays, wipes, and cleaning concentrates.
- Water treatment & hygiene systems — microbial control in process water and related sanitation programs.
- Swimming pool & spa sanitizers — non-halogen sanitizer option used as an alternative to chlorine/bromine (often paired with an oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide as part of the system).
- Textiles & materials — antimicrobial finishing to reduce odor-causing microbial growth on fabrics and treated materials.
- Medical & wound care — antiseptic solutions and PHMB-containing dressings to help reduce bioburden and support infection control.
