iodophor

Diluted iodophor is also used extensively in the dairy industry.

When used on dirty surfaces the yellow brown colour of the iodophor is absorbed and disappears.

The product thus serves as an iodophor.

Visual indicators of product activity, as in the iodophor colour change, can usefully augment routine control measures.

Diluted iodophor is often used by brewers and winemakers to sanitize equipment and bottles.

Povidone iodine (an iodophor).

Cadexomer iodine is an iodophor that is produced by the reaction of dextrin with epichlorhydrin coupled with ion-exchange groups and iodine.

In alternative fashion, iodine may come from iodophors, which contain iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent (iodide ion may be thought of loosely as the iodophor in triiodide water solutions).

Novel iodine antiseptics containing povidone-iodine (an iodophor, complex of povidone, a water-soluble polymer, with triiodide anions I, containing about 10% of active iodine) are far better tolerated, don't negatively affect wound healing, and leave a deposit of active iodine, thereby creating the so-called "remnant," or persistent, effect.
