Effective Pesticide Raw Material for Antimicrobial Solutions, Povidone Iodine (PVPI) 25655-41-8
Product Name: Povidone Iodine (PVPI)
CAS No.: 25655-41-8
Product Description:
Povidone Iodine (PVPI) is a highly effective and versatile antiseptic agent known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. It is a complex of iodine and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which provides a stable and controlled release of iodine. This unique combination makes PVPI an ideal solution for various healthcare, personal care, and industrial applications. It is widely used for disinfection and microbial control, as it effectively combats a range of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
PVPI's stability, coupled with its ability to release iodine slowly, reduces the irritation typically caused by free iodine. This makes it a gentler alternative for a variety of applications, including wound care, surgical antisepsis, and hand sanitization.
The product complies with stringent quality standards such as USP (United States Pharmacopeia), EP (European Pharmacopeia), and CP (Chinese Pharmacopeia), ensuring reliability and effectiveness across all its uses.
