CAS Number: 27083-27-8 - 32289-58-0
VANTOCIL TG is an antimicrobial agent.
VANTOCIL TG is a broad spectrum, fast acting bactericide for the formulation of disinfectants and sanitisers.
VANTOCIL TG is a 20 % aqueous solution of poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) hydrochloride, also known as PHMB.
VANTOCIL TG is used in industrial, institutional, agricultural, food, beverage and domestic disinfection applications, primarily as a solid surface disinfectant, specifically for hospitals, veterinary establishments, dairies, milking parlors, breweries, air-conditioning units, and pasteurizers in canned food & beverage bottling plants.
VANTOCIL TG has a non-specific mode of biocidal action which means that bacterial resistance is very unlikely to occur

Typical Properties of VANTOCIL TG:
VANTOCIL TG is a very pale yellow liquid without odour.
VANTOCIL TG pH is acid (pH=5.7).
VANTOCIL TG has a relative density of 1.04 at 20 °C.
VANTOCIL TG is a free flowing mobile liquid with a low viscosity of 4.15 mPa.s.
Experience in use indicates that the product does not foam.
A study should be provided at the product authorisation stage for confirmation.
Data on the surface tension measured with VANTOCIL TG is required at the product authorisation stage.
VANTOCIL TG is stable 14 days at 54°C.
Low temperature stability (7 days at 0°C) and a shelf life study (2 years at ambient temperature) including measure of VANTOCIL TG (adsorbed on container after storage were not submitted and should be required).
VANTOCIL TG is not flammable and has neither oxidising nor explosive properties.
VANTOCIL TG is a dusty solid/powder, off white with a strong ammonia smell.
VANTOCIL TG has a glass transition temperature of 90-91°C (non crystalline polymer) and decomposes at 205-210°C before boiling.
VANTOCIL TG (has manufactured, 20% in water) has a boiling point of 100.2°C.
The relative density of VANTOCIL TG is 1.20 at 20°C and the relative density of the TK is 1.04 at 20°C.
As a polymer, VANTOCIL TG is not considered to be volatile.
Henry’s Law Constant is not applicable as VANTOCIL TG is not considered to be volatile and is present in ionic form at neutral pH.
VANTOCIL TG is assumed that has only slight possibility to go from water to air.
VANTOCIL TG is very soluble in water (426 g/L).
VANTOCIL TG is also soluble in methanol (41%), in ethanol (0.5%) and sparingly soluble in organic solvents (10-3 g/L).
The pKa is calculated as approximately 4.4 at 25°C. Log Pow is -
2.3 at pH=7.4 and 25°C.
VANTOCIL TG is not highly flammable, and does not have oxidizing and explosive properties.
A surface tension study should be performed but VANTOCIL TG is not expected to be surface active based on structural considerations.

Methods of Analysis of VANTOCIL TG:
VANTOCIL TG is impossible to determine directly VANTOCIL TG since it is not a single chemical entity but a polymeric mixture with a range of molecular weight.
Adequate methodology exists for the characterisation of the active ingredient and the determination of the known impurities in the VANTOCIL TG but more validation data are required.
Justifications for non submission of analytical methods for residues of the active substance in soil, water, air and body fluids and tissues, in food or feedstuffs were submitted.
For polymeric substances VANTOCIL TG may be difficult to develop an adequate residue analytical method.
A limited residue definition in form of a marker will be required if VANTOCIL TG is proposed for approval.
Residue definition:
A proposal of residue definition for drinking water and body fluid and tissues is required 6 months before the date of approval.
