Description

Tridecylpoly(Ethyleneoxy)Ethanol - Iodine Complex is a specialized nonionic surfactant-iodine complex, also known as a povidone-iodine precursor or iodophor. This compound is valued for its controlled release of iodine, providing potent and sustained antimicrobial activity while improving solubility and stability in aqueous formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial disinfectant sectors seeking effective, non-staining biocidal agents.

Application

• Antiseptic and Disinfectant Formulations: A key active ingredient or intermediate in surgical scrubs, wound cleansers, and surface disinfectants.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of complexed iodine products like povidone-iodine for topical antiseptic solutions and ointments.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into soaps, shampoos, and skincare products for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties.
• Veterinary Hygiene: Employed in teat dips, wound sprays, and equipment sanitizers for animal husbandry.
• Food Processing Sanitation: Used in sanitizing solutions for food contact surfaces and processing equipment.
• Water Treatment: Acts as a biocide in cooling water systems and for microbial control in industrial water processes.
• Industrial Preservatives: Serves as a preservative in metalworking fluids, adhesives, and polymer emulsions.
