Product Description:

Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) is a stable chemical complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and elemental iodine, appearing as a yellowish-brown to reddish-brown amorphous powder.
It is highly water-soluble, allowing for easy formulation into solutions, ointments, and other dosage forms. PVP-I is widely recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
It is valued for its low toxicity, excellent skin compatibility, and sustained release of iodine, providing effective disinfection while minimizing irritation.

FAQ:

Q1: How does PVP-I work as an antimicrobial agent?

A: PVP-I slowly releases free iodine when in contact with the skin or mucous membranes, which penetrates microbial cell walls and inactivates proteins and enzymes, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.

Q2: Is PVP-I water-soluble?

A: Yes, Povidone Iodine is highly water-soluble, making it easy to formulate into various dosage forms, including solutions, scrubs, ointments, and gels.

Q3: What is the available iodine content in your PVP-I Pharma Grade?

A: The available iodine content ranges from 9.0% to 12.0%, ensuring effective antimicrobial activity while maintaining stability.

Q4: Why is low Loss on Drying important in PVP-I?

A: A Loss on Drying of ≤8.0% ensures minimal weight loss during storage and processing, maintaining consistent concentration and stability in formulations.

Q5: How should Povidone Iodine be stored?

A: It should be stored in tightly sealed containers, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its stability and activity.
