Global Ethylene Oxide (EO) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Ethylene oxide (EO), also known as oxirane, is a highly reactive and flammable organic compound with the chemical formula C2H4O. It is a colorless gas at room temperature but is typically handled as a gas under pressure or in a liquid form due to its volatility. Ethylene oxide is a versatile chemical used in various industrial applications, with its primary use being in the sterilization of medical equipment and supplies. It is also employed in the production of ethylene glycols, which are key components in the manufacture of antifreeze, plastics, and polyester fibers. Additionally, ethylene oxide is used as a fumigant for sterilizing agricultural products, spices, and certain types of commodities. Due to its flammable and highly reactive nature, ethylene oxide is handled with great care, and its use is subject to strict safety and regulatory controls to minimize health and environmental risks.
