Ethylene oxide: key application in sterilization of hygiene products
Baby diapers come into direct contact with delicate infant skin. Sterilization in EO Disinfection Cabinets effectively reduces the growth of germs and reduces the risk of skin irritation. Disposable tableware is sterilized before use to prevent pathogens from entering the body through food and ensure food safety. N95 masks, as protective equipment, are sterilized to ensure they do not carry additional germs during use, enhancing their effectiveness. Disposable paper towels and cotton swabs are often used for cleaning or care, and sterilization ensures cleanliness and hygiene during use. Sanitary napkins, which come into contact with intimate areas, are sterilized in EO sterilizers to reduce the possibility of bacterial infection and protect women's health.

Advantages Compared to Traditional Sterilization Methods
Compared to high-temperature steam or irradiation sterilization, EO sterilizers offer significant advantages:
* Low-temperature processing, preserving material properties
* Strong penetrating power, suitable for complex structures and sealed packaging products
* Applicable to various material systems, offering strong compatibility
* Supports high-volume processing, suitable for large-scale production
A complete EO sterilization process typically includes:
Pretreatment (temperature and humidity control)
EO gas injection and sterilization reaction
Analysis (removal of residual gases)
Monitoring and Validation (ensuring sterilization effectiveness)
