Product Details
01
Overview
Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) features a unique chemical structure where iodine predominantly exists as triiodide ions, bonded through hydrogen bonds formed with carbonyl groups from adjacent pyrrolidone rings. This complexation allows for iodine’s solubility in both aqueous and non-aqueous media, significantly enhancing its usability. The product manifests as a free-flowing, reddish-brown powder, notable for its stability and non-irritant properties. It is completely soluble in ethanol and water, mitigating the irritation often associated with traditional iodine solutions. PVP-I meets the stringent quality standards set by USP/NF, EP, BP, and CP, ensuring its reliability and effectiveness as an antiseptic solution.
