Poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) hydrochloride is a white to off-white, hygroscopic solid, typically supplied as a powder or granular material; it is odorless, non-volatile, and highly water-soluble, with no well-defined melting point due to decomposition upon heating. It is a cationic polymer classified as a polybiguanide, synthesized from hexamethylenediamine and cyanoguanidine followed by hydrochloride salt formation. Primarily used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, it serves as an active ingredient in industrial biocides, disinfectants, and preservatives. Its main application areas include water treatment (e.g., swimming pools, cooling towers), healthcare disinfection products, and preservation of personal care formulations such as contact lens solutions and wet wipes.
