Contact SupplierThe use of heat for effective sterilization has a long history, but with the advent of certain materials like plastic rubber etc., which are damaged by high temperatures of 121oC or 136oC materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. The alternative method which can sterilize medical goods at much lower temperatures i.e., 37oC or 50oC was found out way back in the 1940s when researchers came out with the method of gaseous sterilization and the gas used was ETHYLENE OXIDE (C2H4O). Ethylene Oxide is used to sterilize range of medical surgical devices, Dehydrated agricultural products, herbal extracts, spices etc.
