Chemical Information
FooDB NameOxirane
DescriptionEthylene Oxide, also known as 1,2-epoxyethane or aethylenoxid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as epoxides. Epoxides are compounds containing a cyclic ether with three atom rings (one oxygen and two carbon atoms). Ethylene oxide is a colorless and flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor. It is industrially produced by oxidation of ethylene in the presence of a silver catalyst. Ethylene oxide is formally rated as a carcinogen (by IARC 1) and is also a potentially toxic compound. Ethylene oxide is used for making a wide range of products. It is also used for the sterilization surgical equipment or supplies that require sterile conditions but are heat sensitive or unable to be placed inside an autoclave. Ehtylene oxide is also considered a plant growth regulator and signalling molecule, being directly linked to the maturation and senescence of some plant organs and fruits.
