CAS Number and Formula Ethylene Oxide is referenced in the Chemical Abstracts Service under the number 75-21-8. The molecular formula of Ethylene Oxide is C2H4O, comprising two carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and a single oxygen atom.

Product Description Ethylene Oxide is a significant industrial chemical recognized for its high reactivity and wide-ranging properties. At room temperature, it presents as a colorless gas with a somewhat sweet smell. It finds extensive usage across various sectors such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, antifreeze, detergents, and more.

Usage and Application 

Ethylene oxide (EO), also known as oxirane, is a vital industrial compound with a range of applications across multiple sectors. Here’s a breakdown of some of its key applications:

1. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide is widely used as a sterilizing agent for medical equipment and supplies. The gas is particularly effective because it can penetrate packaging materials and kill microorganisms that could contaminate medical devices. This makes EO an invaluable resource for hospitals, labs, and any other settings that require sterile tools.
2. Chemical Precursor: Ethylene oxide is an important raw material in the production of various chemical products. For instance, it’s a key ingredient in the manufacture of ethylene glycol, which is commonly used in antifreeze and polyester production. In addition, EO is used to produce other chemicals, including polyethylene glycols, ethoxylates, glycol ethers, and ethanolamines.
3. Fumigation: In the agricultural sector, ethylene oxide is often used for fumigation purposes. This involves using the gas to kill pests and microorganisms that might be present in stored goods. It’s particularly useful for treating spices, grains, and other products that can’t withstand high heat or moisture.
4. Pharmaceuticals: Ethylene oxide is a key ingredient in the production of many pharmaceuticals. For example, it’s used in the production of certain types of surfactants, which are substances that lower the surface tension of a liquid, allowing it to spread more easily.
5. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Ethylene oxide is used to produce ingredients for cosmetics and personal care products, including emulsifiers, detergents, and solubilizers.
6. Textiles: In the textile industry, ethylene oxide derivatives, such as ethylene glycol, are used in the production of polyester fibers and resins. These are then used to make fabrics, bottles, films, and other products.
7. Automotive Industry: Ethylene glycol, a derivative of EO, is used extensively as an antifreeze in automotive engines. It prevents the coolant in the engine from freezing in winter and from boiling in summer.
8. Construction Industry: Ethylene oxide derivatives are used in the construction industry in the form of solvents and paint additives. These help improve the performance of paints and coatings.

However, it’s important to note that ethylene oxide is highly flammable and reactive, and it’s a known human carcinogen. As such, industries must use it with care and follow all safety regulations to limit workers’ exposure and protect the environment.
