Product Information

• Name: Polypropylene glycol monobutyl ether - average Mn -340
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Polypropylene glycol monobutyl ether (PBBE) is a non-ionic surfactant that is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, lubricants, and detergents. It has been shown to have low toxicity and to be biodegradable. PBBE has been shown to activate the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by binding to DNA and RNA, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with nitrogen atoms on the bases of these molecules. This can also allow PBBE to act as an emulsifier for water-in-oil emulsions. PBBE has also been shown in clinical studies to have antimicrobial properties against infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV, as well as antimicrobial activity against hk-2 cells infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
