ABSTRACT:
A stable concentrated iodophor composition is useful in aqueous solution for control of microorganisms in the therapeutic and prophylactic culture of aquatic animals such as fish, reptiles, and amphibians. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae and the like in very dilute solution while being non-toxic to higher animals. Its biocidal action is due in large measure to the action of iodine that is slowly released into the water. The solution has low-foaming properties to enable its use with water systems having moving water in fountains, filters and bubble aerators. The composition includes phosphoric acid, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and two iodophors, a first iodophor formed by mixing iodomethane with a quaternary ammonium surfactant and a second iodophor formed by heating iodine with either an alkyl phenoxyl polyether alcohol or oleic acid sulfonate.
