Tamodine-E is an iodophor disinfectant with an exceptionally wide spectrum against viruses, bacteria and fungi and is ideal for major total disinfection tasks of aviaries, vivarium, hutches and other animal housing. Its extremely low toxicity makes it ideal for major total disinfection tasks.
Tamodine E is an iodophore disinfectant, it is suitable for general purpose vivarium disinfection. Also for use in veterinary surgeries, hospitals, schools, catering establishments, shops, and other public and industrial premises as a general purpose disinfectant. It has the benefit of having a built-in colour-marker, which means the user can see where they have treated, and also when they have washed it off.
In a made up solution for dips, washes, footbaths etc it loses its colour when it becomes inactive.
