PHMB
Polyhexamethylbiguanide (PHMB) is an organic biocide used for water disinfection. PHMB based sanitisers are widely used for the treatment of swimming pool water. These sanitisers are typically sold under branded names for example Baquacil (Zeneca), Softswim (Biolab), Revosil (Mareva) and Nicosil (Nico Norge).
The Palintest PHMB test provides a simple means of measuring PHMB-based sanitiser levels in swimming pool waters over the range 0 - 100 mg/l. The test is calibrated in terms of commercially available santitiser products which normally contain 20% active biocide.
