Descriptor yodóforos
Scope note: Complejos de yodo y AGENTES TENSOACTIVOS no iónicos que actúan como agentes transportadores y solubilizantes del yodo en el agua. Los yodóforos usualmente elevan la actividad bactericida del yodo, reducen la presión de vapor y el olor, minimizan la coloración, y permiten una amplia dilución en agua. (Merck Index, 11th ed).
