Self-Indicator : Polysan has the unique distinction of indicating its own germicidal activity. When used in recommended dilution, the solution is of a rich amber color. In use, the color fades as the iodine-complex kills organisms and iodine gets used up. However, as long as the amber color remains in the solution, germicidal action continues. The user may be certain at all times that the disinfectant solution retains the ability to kill most organisms quickly and completely. In case of many other disinfectants the smell persists beyond their germicidal activity cease and thereby misguiding the user.
