Maxome® PHMB-20%, a broad-spectrum polymer antiseptic and disinfectant. It is highly effective against bacteria and fungi while being known for its low toxicity and high safety profile. This makes it a key ingredient in applications ranging from contact lens solutions and wound care to swimming pool treatment. It works by disrupting microbial cell membranes, a mechanism to which resistance develops slowly.
