Bactericidal mechanism of action

The guanidine group in PHMB has high activity, which can make the polymer become positively charged and easily adsorbed by all kinds of bacteria and viruses that are negatively charged, thereby inhibiting the splitting function of bacteria and viruses, making them lose their reproductive ability, plus The film formed by the polymer blocks the respiratory passages of the microorganisms, causing the microorganisms to suffocate and die quickly.
