Iodophor composition with immediate and long action microbicidal action

摘要

New iodophor compositions are provided which are mixtures of polydextrose-iodine and polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine. Such mixtures containing polydextrose-iodine and polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine, wherein the ratio by weight of polydextrose to polyvinylpyrrolidone is between 20-80: 80-20, have an immediate bactericidal activity upon application and also a long lasting microbicidal activity. The immediate microbicidal acitivity is faster and more effective than by the use of either the polydextrose-iodine alone or the polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine alone, and the effect is more long lasting than in the case of the use of either polydextrose-iodine alone or polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine alone.
