Phoraid products*  are among the most effective Disinfectant and Antiseptic agents known, with proven**  powerful and rapid activity against a wide range of organisms including HIV, HepB, Anthrax and ‘Foot and Mouth’

An Iodophor***  Phoraid is biodegradable,  free rinsing,  non fuming,  non-corrosive and extremely safe to use. Phoraid products will not harm the skin,  burn or intoxicate and may be used safely on coloured fabrics and in enclosed spaces.

Iodine is one of the oldest and most effective disinfectants used by man,  but is unusual in that it sublimes,  (moves from a solid to a gas without the liquid stage) and is therefore unstable.   To overcome this,  ‘Idoplex’  was developed for Phoraid.   This  carefully chosen non-aqueous iodine complex is both water and oil soluble and the Hydrophylic/Lipothylic Balance (HBL) was carefully calculated to give those benefits.

* Phoraid (@3000ppm) is highly concentrated and also available as Phorvet (@6000ppm)
and Phoraid-Sterawash (@9000ppm)

** Results of extensive testing are available from the UK Distributors.

*** From ‘Microbiology’ by Pelczar, Reid and Chan;
Iodophors are mixture of iodine with surface active agents which act as carriers and solubilizers for iodine.   One of these agents is polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); Iodine is released slowly from this complex.  Iodophors possess the germicidal characteristics of iodine and have the additional advantages of nonstaining and low irritant properties.
