Povidone Iodine is a stable iodophor complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone and triiodide ions, forming a reddish-brown amorphous powder or aqueous solution with broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It releases free iodine gradually, ensuring prolonged efficacy without significant staining in diluted forms.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Povidone Iodine (CAS 25655-41-8) to customers in more than 40 countries.
