NIHEXIDINA
Disinfectant and Antiseptic For External and Intracavitary Use
- Properties
Powerful disinfectant and antiseptic with bacteriostatic and bactericidal action. Very effective on hatching eggs. It is characterized by being very persistent. It has a strong affinity for the skin, remaining chemically active for at least 6 hours. Activity is not significantly affected by blood or other organic materials. Its activity is pH dependent and decreases or is neutralized in the presence of non-ionic surfactants, inorganic anions (e.g. phosphate, nitrate, chloride and other substances present in hard water), and organic anions such as natural soaps. Low toxicity. Non-corrosive.
- Application and Ways of Use
Due to its low toxicity, its use is indicated for disinfection of facilities used in animal production: hatcheries, sheds, boxes, pens, feeders, waterers, cages, walls, hoppers, basins, instruments and fixed equipment.
