Iodine / Povidine 100ml / 500ml 

Iodophors are solutions that contain iodine and a solubilizing agent. In this way, a small amount of iodine is slowly released in solution. They are typically used at concentrations ranging from 6 to 75 ppm. Iodophors penetrate the cell walls and membranes of microorganisms and interfere with DNA synthesis. Iodophors also bind to proteins, causing their inactivation. However, they are less effective against biofilms than other disinfectants. One of the most widely used iodophors is povidone-iodine, which is often used for the disinfection of surfaces in breweries and dairy industries. Iodophors are generally less toxic than other disinfectants, but they leave a yellow residue on surfaces.
