Abstract
Improved, highly viscous film-forming protective germicidal formulations are provided which include water, a germicidal agent (preferably complexed iodine) together with an organic thickener, a skin conditioning agent and a minor amount of polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Preferably, the formulations include iodine complexed with a Poloxamer and PVP, in combination with a xanthan gum and glycerin. The formulations have a viscosity of from about 50-5000 cP and form a flexible residual film when applied to skin. The invention is particularly useful in the preparation of bovine teat dips.
