Description
Iodoform is a stable, pale yellow crystalline solid. It is volatile with a characteristic pungent,
unpleasant and penetrating odour, but with a sweetish taste. It is incompatible with strong
oxidising agents, reducing agents, lithium, and metallic salts such as mercuric oxide, silver
nitrate, strong bases, calomel, and tannin. Reports indicate that earlier iodoform was in
use as a disinfectant and as an antiseptic or dressing and healing of wounds and sores for
pets. Iodoform is the active ingredient in many antiseptic or dressing powders used for
dogs and cats to prevent infection.

Uses
Iodoform has limited use as a chemical intermediate and for
medicinal purposes as disinfectant and antiseptic and has
been used in veterinary medicine. Triiodomethane is a crystalline compound commonly used as a disinfectant. It can be used in the process of removing heavy metals such as mercury from fuids. It is used as a topical anti-infective, applied to the skin.
