RECOMMENDED DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATIONMETHOD |
GENERAL DISINFECTANT
A 250 ppm available iodine solution is
made by diluting 25 ml OVADINE to 1 litre with clean water. Use
as a dip or bath.
- Wash items that are heavily contaminated
with soil or organic debris before disinfecting with OVADINE.
- A change in the solution colour from dark
brown to light yellow indicates loss of activity. Ideally, the free
iodine concentration should be monitored during treatment. Renew by
using a fresh solution of OVADINE.
FISH EGG DISINFECTANT when
using dry fertilization method
- Conditions such as the organic content of
water and the mass of the fish eggs vary, thus the number of eggs
treated can vary widely.
- Place eggs into a 100 ppm free iodine
solution of 0VADINE
for ten minutes. A suitable ratio is 1 volume of eggs to 10 volumes
of this solution.
- A 100 ppm free iodine solution is made by
diluting 10 ml OVADINE
to 1 litre with clean water.

OVADINE is a liquid available in 4 litre, 20 litre and 200 litre
containers. |
|
COMPOSITION
|
OVADINE is a buffered 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine (PVPI) solution in
water. The dark brown liquid contains a minimum 1% available iodine. |
|
STABILITY & STORAGE |
PVPI
solutions may be stored at room temperature (20-30°C) for periods greater
than two years if containers are kept tightly closed and away from direct
sunlight. |
|
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS |
- PVPI solutions have very low toxicities
and are non-irritating to skin, mucosa and wounds. PVPI solutions are
classified as practically non-toxic to humans. There is no evidence of
adverse effects from continued use of PVPI solutions.
- Care should be taken when discarding PVPI
solutions. For weak solutions, dilute with several volumes of water
before discarding.
- For strong solutions, neutralize with
sodium thiosulfate before discarding.
- OVADINE has low toxicity to fish
eggs. However, it may be toxic to fish. Therefore, thoroughly rinse all
disinfected surfaces before re-use.
- The 100 ppm free iodine solution may be
painted on lesions, although it may burn the exposed skin of some marine
fish and smooth skinned fish.
