How does it work?
EO is a direct alkylating agent that does not require metabolic activation, and its microbiologic inactivation properties are considered to be the result of its powerful alkylation reaction with cellular constituents of organisms, such as nucleic acid and functional proteins, including enzymes, which leads to consequent denaturation. The addition of alkyl groups to proteins, DNA, and RNA in microorganisms by binding to the sulfhydryl and hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl groups, prevents normal cellular metabolism and ability to reproduce, which render affected microbes nonviable.
What can it do?
Eliminates 99.9999% of Germs and Bacteria!
The sterility assurance level is 1 × 10^-6... That means the chance of finding a single bacterium is 1 per 1,000,000!!! [1] "Epoxy Clean has an alkylating agent that disrupts the DNA of micro-organisms, which prevents them from reproducing. This sterilization assures that a safe and sterile product will be delivered each and every time." [2]
Trusted by hospitals and laboratory facilities around the globe!
Ethylene oxide is one of the most commonly used sterilization methods in the healthcare industry because of its non-damaging effects for delicate instruments and devices that are needed sterile, and for its wide range of material compatibility. [3]
Cleans a multitude of surfaces and devices, with NO damaging effects!
It can be used to clean any object containing components that cannot tolerate heat, moisture or abrasive chemicals, such as electronics, optical equipment, paper, rubber and plastics. [3]
Epoxy Clean chemical composition
Epoxy clean is made from green naturally abundant substances such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen; all of which are a large percentage of our Earth's atmosphere and organic life! Epoxy clean is made of 57% Hydrogen (H), 29% Carbon (C), and 14% Oxygen (O)
