Povidone iodine (MF:C6H9I2NO MW:364.95) is a classic broad-spectrum iodine-based disinfectant formed by the coordination bonding of water-soluble polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with iodine (I₂). It combines the dual advantages of “highly effective sterilization” and “low irritation,” featuring excellent water solubility, easy rinsing, and mucosal compatibility. Currently one of the most widely used disinfectants in clinical, household, and industrial settings, it is particularly suitable for disinfecting skin, mucous membranes, and sensitive areas.
