It is used to sterilize a wide range of medical devices because of its versatility and effectiveness in treating a wide variety of materials of construction including metals, plastics, elastomers, without negatively impacting the performance of the device. Ethylene Oxide is capable of sterilizing at low temperatures, enabling the sterilization of many plastic, composite, and other temperature-sensitive devices. Additionally, it penetrates packaging materials and diffuses into the channels and crevices of complicated medical devices, including entire palletized loads of devices, destroying pathogens and assuring sterility of the product. Ethylene Oxide is also utilized to sterilize, fumigate, and reduce microbial load for a variety of other products including spices and seasonings, cosmetics, aseptic packaging, laboratory materials, pharmaceuticals, artifacts, archival materials, and library objects. Balchem Performance Gases is a global leader in providing packaged Ethylene Oxide in a variety of containers that meet the needs of our global customers. We ship Ethylene Oxide worldwide in specially-designed reusable drum and cylinder packaging to ensure adherence to the highest safety and quality standards.
