Polyaminopropyl biguanide
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polyaminopropyl biguanide (PAPB) is a polymer containing biguanide group connected with a three methylene (propyl) linker. The polymer is a propyl analogue of polyhexamethylene biguanide. The polymer displays some antibacterial activity, although much lower than PHMB.[1] As of May 2024, PAPB is not approved as a biocidal active substance under EU regulations.[2]
