Description

Nonylphenoxypolyethanol-Iodine Complex is a chemical complex formed between iodine and a nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactant, widely recognized for its potent and broad-spectrum biocidal properties. This complex offers enhanced stability and sustained release of active iodine compared to elemental iodine, making it a highly effective and versatile active ingredient. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the disinfectant, sanitizer, and biocidal formulation industries, as well as in agricultural and industrial process applications where microbial control is critical.

Application

• Disinfectant and Sanitizer Formulations: A key active ingredient in professional and institutional hard surface disinfectants, surgical scrubs, and hand sanitizers.
• Agricultural Biocides: Used in formulations for disinfecting animal housing, equipment, and as a broad-spectrum fungicide/bactericide in certain agricultural applications.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Employed as a biocide in cooling water systems, paper mill process water, and oilfield operations to control microbial growth and biofouling.
• Dairy and Food Processing Sanitation: Incorporated into sanitizing solutions for food contact surfaces and processing equipment due to its efficacy and rinsability.
• Veterinary and Animal Health Products: Used in topical antiseptic preparations, wound care solutions, and teat dips for livestock.
• Preservative for Industrial Fluids: Acts as a preservative in metalworking fluids, adhesives, and polymer emulsions to prevent spoilage.

Quality Control

Our Nonylphenoxypolyethanol-Iodine Complex is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent potency, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as available iodine content, pH, and non-volatile residue are verified against stringent internal specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air should be avoided after opening. Keep away from strong reducing agents and incompatible materials.
