Abstract
An emulsion containing a substantially water resistant film-forming copolymer phase and iodine is claimed. The polymer-in-water emulsion forms a film that is a substantially fluid resistant, low tack, flexible film which adheres to skin and releases iodine to skin. The addition of iodate to emulsions having such a film-forming copolymer phase and iodine further enhances stability of the emulsion.
