LP16970-3
Ethylene oxide
Active
Description
Ethylene oxide is a gas capable of killing microorganisms by the alkylation of the sulfur-containing proteins. Since it is a highly inflammable gas, it is used in association with both CO2 (90%) and fluoric hydrocarbons. In such conditions, ethylene oxide sterilizes at a temperature of 40° and a humidity of 40% within 4 hours.
It is used to sterilize various medical instruments and supplies that would not tolerate sterilization by heat.
