| Reduce the Risk
of Loss due to Bacterial Infections with the Routine use of Povidone-Iodine. |
|
| Povidone-Iodine is a non-toxic, non-staining antimicrobial, most commonly
known in its applications as a topical antiseptic in hospitals (surgical
scrub and surgical preparation), or as an over-the-counter product available
in pharmacies. |
 |
| In recent years PVP-Iodine has become an important product for the
aqua-farming industry, and is used extensively as a disinfectant in
hatcheries, and in shrimp farms in Southeast Asia, the USA, South America
and elsewhere. |
|
| In hatcheries, PVP-Iodine is used for the disinfection of eggs, with no
withdrawal required, at a rate of 50 mg/L (50 ppm) for 30 minutes during
hardening, and 100 mg/L (100 ppm) for 10 minutes after water hardening. |
|
| As aqua-farming production increases worldwide, the need to protect ponds
and reservoirs from contamination has also become increasingly crucial to
the fish/shrimp farmer, whose investment may be wiped out by germs and
bacteria. PVP-Iodine is used extensively by aqua-farmers to reduce fish and
fish-egg mortality because of its ability to rapidly kill harmful bacteria
in ponds. |
|
| For several years Marcus Research has serviced the aqua farming industry, in
conjunction with the manufacturers and suppliers who directly serve the
industry. We recommend PVP-Iodine Dubldone for use in aqua-farming
applications. |
|
| Dubldone is a stable product, and has an available Iodine content roughly
twice that of PVP-Iodine USP (9.0 - 12.0%). This benefits the formulator
because less powder is required to yield a batch of finished product,
resulting in a direct cost-savings over PVP-Iodine USP. Because aqua-farming
disinfectants are not required to be made from a USP product, the potential
for cost-savings is significant. |
|
| PVP-Iodine Dubldone is packaged in PE liners inside 50-kilo net fiber drums,
with a lead seal. Delivered pricing, samples and technical support for
producing finished products are available upon request. |
