Ethylene Oxide Market Scope
Ethylene oxide is a colorless, sweet-smelling gas that is flammable at room temperature. Its main application is in the production of various chemicals, including antifreeze. It also finds use as a sterilizing agent and a pesticide in smaller quantities. Ethylene oxide's capacity to harm DNA is what makes it an effective sterilizing agent, but it is also responsible for its carcinogenic properties. Ethylene oxide is widely used for sterilizing medical equipment and devices. The growth of the healthcare industry, especially during times of increased demand (such as during pandemics), can boost the demand for ethylene oxide.
