An iodophor is a preparation containing iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent, such as a surfactant or water-soluble polymers such as povidone (forming povidone-iodine), [1] [2] The result is a water-soluble material that releases free iodine when in solution.
Cadexomer iodine is an iodophor that is produced by the reaction of dextrin with epichlorhydrin coupled with ion-exchange groups and iodine. It is a water-soluble modified starch polymer containing 0.9% iodine, calculated on a weight-weight basis, within a helical matrix.
Povidone-iodine (PVP-I), also known as iodopovidone, is an antiseptic used for skin disinfection before and after surgery. [1] [2] It may be used both to disinfect the hands of healthcare providers and the skin of the person they are caring for. [2]
Iodine solution is used to sanitize the surface of fruit and vegetables from bacteria and viruses. The common concentration for sanitization is 25 ppm iodophor for 1 minute. [7] However, the effectiveness depends on whether the solution penetrates into rifts, and whether dirt is effectively removed at first.
Iodophor disinfectants used in milking parlours also serve as a source of iodine for cows. Subsequent dairy promotion programs increased the population's milk consumption, creating an "accidental public health triumph" by increasing the population's iodine consumption and nearly eliminating goitre.

The diluted material must be thoroughly mixed to achieve the true dilution. For example, in a solution with a 1:5 dilution ratio, entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) with 5 unit volumes of the solvent to give 6 total units of total volume. In photographic development, dilutions are normally given in a '1+x ...
This is a list of terms which are used, or have been used in the past, to designate the residents of specific provinces of the Philippines.
