ADVANTAGES OF POLYSAN

Active Ingredient : Alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy, ethanoliodine complex. Avaiable (titratable) iodine 1.6% minimum. POLYSAN is fast acting and non-selective. It covers a wide-spectrum of effectiveness and protection against wide variety of disease-causing agents, such as bacteria, spores, viruses, molds, protozoa, fungi, yeast and other pathogens. POLYSAN has residual anti-bacterial effect which last four days or more.
Safe : Iodine in the form of iodophor in POLYSAN is effective even when available in very minute quantity, such as 0.0075% (75 ppm) or less. In this form iodine is non-toxic and non-irritating, practically non-staining and safe-when used as directed.
Economical : POLYSAN is supplied in highly concentrated form. For most uses only 0.5% solution of POLYSAN in water is sufficient – 1 litre of POLYSAN will provide 200 litres of use-solution for general disinfection.
Self-Indicator : POLYSAN has the unique distinction of indicating its own germicidal activity. When used in recommended dilution, the solution is of a rich amber colour. In use, the colour fades as the iodine-complex kills organisms and iodine gets used up. However, as long as the amber colour remains in the solution, germicidal action continues. The user may be certain at all times that the disinfectant solutions retains the ability to kill most organisms quickly and completely. In case of many other disinfectants the smell persists beyond their germicidal activity cease and thereby misguiding the user.

APPLICATIONS

Polysan All Purpose Disinfectant For Hospital Use. It can be used from housekeeping uses, such as walls, floors and other surfaces, to the operating theatre and surgical wards. Some of its specific uses are listed below :

General disinfection : particularly in hospitals that have areas devoted to contagious diseases like tuberculosis, poliomylitis. Wall, furniture and all other surfaces including dishes, utensils etc. Disinfection of hospital kitchens, cafeterias and lunchrooms with stainless steel equipment, refrigerators, kettles, receptacles, refuse areas, etc.
Hospital equipments : such as thermometers, bedpans, urinals
Surgiacal instruments : for disinfection of scissors, forceps, rubber gloves, etc.
Morgue : disinfection of operating tables, refrigerators and general cleaning in the area.
Laboratories : such as bacteriology, pathology and chemistry (not applicable in chemistry labs, performing protein bound iodine studies).
Animal rooms and cages : in hospital large enough to have research facilities, disinfection is swift and sure – also reduce the animal odours.
Operating rooms and maternity rooms : for table, instruments and equipment.
Polysan Pre-Operative Scrub : to be prepared as given in DILUTION CHART. This is highly recommended for use as microbiocidal skin cleanser and as skin degerming agent. Also useful as for pre-operating and post-operative scrub.
Family Planning Centers : some of these centres are located outside regular hospitals or work as mobile units, chances of infection at such Family Planning Centres is more than in regular hospitals. POLYSAN being an all-purpose, disinfectant, is ideally suited for this.
Veterinary Use : POLYSAN can be used for general hygiene to prevent spread of infection, washing of odour and prevention of MASTITIS as well as in poultry farms. POLYSAN is recommended for skin antisepsis, footrot in sheep, orf, ringworm, foot and mouth disease and the general treatment of indeterminate dermatitis.
Schools, Public Places : POLYSAN being a germicide-cum-detergent, can be effectively and economically used for daily sanitary procedures. It is specifically useful for workers’ locker rooms, wash and shower rooms (prevents spread of athlete’s foot infection), cafeteria, public and private lavatories. Use of POLYSAN will inhibit the possible cross infection by the disease-causing organisms.
Food Processing Plants, Breweries, Hatcheries And Sugar Plants :
POLYSAN can be used effectively for control of undesirable bacterial growth and for sanitizing the equipment.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

POLYSAN is highly concentrated and only 0.5% solution in water is used as a general-purpose disinfectant and cleanser (5 ml of POLYSAN: 1 litre of water, 75 ppm available iodine). For porous surface or those difficult to clean, especially molds and fungi use 1% solution (10 ml of POLYSAN: 1 LITRE of water, 150 ppm available iodine). The USE SOLUTION will have a dark-brown colour and with usage the fading of colour. Indicates germicidal property being used up. When colour fades away, prepare fresh solution. The surface article to be disinfected should be in through contact with solution for about 5 minutes.

General Instructions : POLYSAN should be diluted with water at room temperature. Hot water, soap or other detergents should not be used with POLYSAN. If required Sodium nitrite should be added as indicated in the dilution chart for instrument disinfection.
Polysan : Should not be used with copper, brass or poorly plated or worn-out articles of metal. POLYSAN solution will not affect articles of stainless steel or aluminum or other properly plated metals.
Give below is a dilution chart for reference.
