INTRODUCTION

Milk and milk products are one of the most likely foods to be spoiled by bacterial contamination. A definite hygiene program is a prerequisite for all stages of milk production. Iodophors are extensively used in Great Britain, the United States, Australia, New Zealand etc. and its effectiveness as cleaners and sanitizers is well-established. POLYSAN-D is an iodophor product containing ‘Tamed Iodine’ complexed with non-ionic surface agent and phosphoric acid. Active ingredients: Available iodine 1.6% alkyl phenoxy poly oxyethylene ethanol (surface active agent), phosphoric acid 10%.

OTHER ADVANTAGES

Prevents scaling in hard water. Use of POLYSAN-D is not appreciably affected by changes in pH or water hardness. However, lowering of the pH enhances the germicidal power of iodine.
Effective bactericidal action at Low concentration, which makes it economical and safe.
The detergent base provides excellent cleaning and rinsing thereby reducing corrosion hazards and enabling penetration of even fine scratches.
Non-irritating to skin and can be used without precaution that are necessary for hypochlorite based products.
Does not deteriorate rubbers and liners as quickly as other cleaners.
Prevents and removes milk stone.
POLYSAN-D works at even low temperature and should never be used above 45°C

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The usual operation in handling dairy and other food-processing equipment is to clean it for removing any excess foreign material and then giving a sanitizing rinse. For cleaning 0.5% to 1% solution in water containing 75-150 ppm of available iodine may be used. A sanitizing rinse with 0.1% to 0.2% of solution containing 15-25 ppm, available iodine may be given thoroughly drained and air-dried just before use.

DAIRY USE

For cleaning and disinfection of milk house and milking parlors: Spray walls, floors and ceilings with solutions containing 1 liter POLYSAN-D in 150 liters of water. (0.75% solution containing 100 ppm available iodine). For milking utensils and equipment: For cleaning, flush utensils and equipment with cool or luke-warm water. Do not use hot water. Take milking machine apart and place all parts except pulsator in lukewarm water containing 1 liter of POLYSN-D in 600 liters. 0.15% solution containing 25 ppm available iodine. Brush thoroughly. Wash pails and other equipment in the same solution. Soak for at least two minutes. Drain and air dry. For sanitizing clean equipment: Flush with solution of 1 liter POLYSAN-D in 1000 liters of water (o.1% solution contains 15 ppm available iodine). This should be done before each milking and drained thoroughly. For bulk milk tanks: For cleaning, flush out all milk with water. Brush tank with lukewarm water containing 1 liter of POLYSAN-D in 600 liters of water. (0.16% solution containing 25 ppm available iodine) Drain and air dry. For sanitizing, spray tank with solution containing 1 liter of POLYSAN-D in 1000 liters of water.

For cleaning and disinfection of food processing equipment and utensils: Scrap and pre flush equipment to remove foreign material. Wash with water containing 1 liter of POLYSAN-D in 300 liters of water. Allow contact for at least 2 minutes. Sanitize with a solution containing 1 liter of POLYSAN-D in 1000 liters of water. Drain and air dry. For bulk milk vending machine: For cleaning and sanitizing this machine, a special method called CIP (cleaning in place) has been worked out by some users and may be adopted. For a 1000 liter capacity vessel, 40 liters of ½% POLYSAN-D solution containing 75 ppm available iodine (200 ml of POLYSAN-D added to 40 liters of water) is circulated in the vessel with pump for 20 minutes. Flush out and drain the solution completely and let the vessel air dry. Rinsing with clean water not necessary.

USE IN MASTITIS

POLYSAN-D is very effective in killing mastitis organisms. Research carried-out by National Institute of Dairying in U.K have shown that the use of iodophor as teat-dip considerably reduces the incidence in mastitis. It is ideally suited because of its fast and wide range of kill and kindness to the skin, both of cow’s udders and milkers’ hands and visual indication of the germicidal strength. To combat mastitis, use 1 per cent solution of POLYSN-D in water for washing udder and the udder cloth. Further TEAT-DIP technique may be used. Test-dip should be used to leave a protective film of iodine on the skin of teat between milkings. For this make up a stock solution in the proportion of one part of POLYSAN-D with 3 parts of water. From this solution take some in a suitable cup to dip teats in it for a few minutes and then leave the protective coating on the teat till the next milking. To prevent mastitis, use ½% solution of POLYSAN-D with water i.e. one part of solution diluted with 200 part of water (available iodine 75 ppm). Milker’s hands should also be immersed in this solution between cows. Alternatively use, for tank and udder wash: Wet towel in solution containing 1 liter POLYSN-D in 1000 liters of water (0.1% solution with 15 ppm available iodine). Use a clean towel for each cow. Never reuse towel or dip used towel back into solution. Always use freshly prepared solution and non-corrodible utensils.

CAUTION

Use only as directed. The concentrate, without dilution is harmful, if swallowed or if it comes in contact with the eyes and may also cause skin irritation. In case of contact of the concentrate with skin or eyes, flush with plenty of water for 10 minutes and get medical attention if necessary. Keep the concentrate away from food and feed-stuffs. POLYSAN-D diluted as directed is safe, however, avoid breathing and mist when spraying. A distinct yellow or amber colour of the POLYSAN-D solution indicates the presence of active iodine. If colour fades, prepare a fresh solution. Do not use hot water to prepare solutions. Keep in a cool place and the containers stoppered. Do not use soap or other cleaners.
