That one you linked appears to have the active ingredients above.
This is awesome. Thanks for all effortI put this together because I was tired of searching around for this information. Here it is in all one place for some of the more popular methods of dipping coral.
General cleansers and cleaners commonly used for eliminating parasites and bacterial infections.
Coral RX – General, 1.25ml/cup or 20ml/gallon, 5-10 minutes.
Fragrecover – General, 2.5ml/cup or 40ml/gallon, 5 minutes.
Koral MD PRO – General, 0.9375ml/cup or 1.5ml/gallon, 5-10 minutes.
Polyplab Reef Primer – General (Potassium Salts), ½ cap/cup or 8 caps/gallon, 5 minutes.
Revive – General (plant extracts), 2.5ml/cup or 40ml/gallon, less than 15 minutes.
Expel Coral Cleanse - General (natural herb blend), 3ml/0.5 gallons, 5-10 minutes.
Iodine based commonly used for unwanted parasites, harmful bacteria, microbial diseases, and for tissue damage or degradation. LPS and softies can benefit from Iodine dips.
TM Pro-Coral Cure – Iodine based, 1ml/200ml, 10-15 minutes.
Lugol’s Solution – Iodine based, 2 drops/cup or 30-40 drops/gallon, 10-15 minutes. Strength varies by brand.
Seachem reef dip – Iodine based, 0.3125-0.625ml/cup or 5-10ml/gallon, 15-30 minutes.
Medicoral – Iodine based, 0.0625ml/cup or 1ml/gallon, Small-polyp Stony Corals: 7 - 10 minutes; Large-polyp Stony Corals: 6 - 9 minutes; Soft (“Leather”) Corals: 8 - 11 minutes; Colonial and Solitary Polyps: 5 - 8 minutes.
Other use dips not based off of the label.
Flatworm Rx or Exit – Flatworms, 3 drops/gallon, 15 minutes, seems to be commonplace.
Bayer – Insecticide, 10ml/cup or 160ml/gallon according to BRS referencing Mike Paletta

Obviously a lot of legal precautions relating to safety and other things using Bayer. Use at your own risk with the understanding that you should only use Bayer according to the label and with all necessary precautions in place for safe use.
Peroxide 3% - Algae, 1:1 sw to H2O2 with zoas and some LPS for 1 minute, or 10:1 for 5 minutes, or 20:1 for 10 minutes. I have dipped the entire plug up to the base of sps in straight H2O2 to remove algae without ill effects. Peroxide dipping is highly debated. Start slow and use in a manner you are comfortable using it.

I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else due to Bayer. I have done that putting a new frag under too intense lighting. How long did you dip it for?I know everyone’s experiences are different but I’ve had Bayer melt the skin of a tort acropora 24 hrs after dipping. I’ve also used bayer for many LPS corals without issue. Anyone else have a similar experience? Currently I’m using revive.
I honestly don’t remember... 15-20 minutes. I dipped 9 other acros at the same time and placed all of them on the same frag rack. The torts skin was flaking off the next day. Got another exact same tort frag and dipped in revive and placed it on the same frag rack and it’s doing great. No changes in light intensity or water chemistry.I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else due to Bayer. I have done that putting a new frag under too intense lighting.

I have no experience with dipping that. Hopefully someone else will comment with their experience with it.Anyone have thoughts or experiences with furan2 dipping??
Basically they are for all corals but the list is organized more for dip usage not coral type. It is easier to know what you want to dip for than choose a dip for that coral.Do all solutions listed on your comprehensive list work for all corals? soft,lps, sps? Or should some be avoided with certain corals? I am more interested in soft and lps, however I think many people would be interested in a simple compatibility chart if there is in fact sensitivity of certain corals to certain dips.
I dip a general dip or Bayer for all corals. If they are lps I also dip iodine or if the coral looks like it might be stressed or have a bacterial issue. If there is algae on the plug I will also dip peroxide or squirt peroxide on the plug.Do you dip new corals in one of each type of dip to QT them proactively? Or is this just for controlling pests that are already affecting the corals?

Great update @SHNICI, thanks. We in Singapore also don't find all the brands discussed.Some of the solution in the OP post
Another I'm using:
Coral DIP (NTLabs - 30ml) General: 2-3 pipette per 1L - 5-1minutes (soft, LPS and SPS corals)
Alternative method:
Dettol - Antiseptic (Chloroxylenol 4.8% Based) 0.5ml/L or 2ml/G for 5-7 maximum 10 minutes work for some eggs deposit on the flesh and skeleton. Also is very good if there is some dirt, debris or other unwanted deposits which can be easy brushed off of the corals. easy remove diatoms (make them wash away easy w/o traces)
- leather corals - 5 - 7 min. max
- LPS - 5 - 7, max 9 (haven't test on plate-Fungia coral)
- SPS 5-7min, max 10 (you can gently brush the non fleshy area) all will fall off easy
