Ethylene Oxide CAS 75-21-8
Sinochem is a major Ethylene oxide supplier. Meanwhile, our firm staffs a group of experts devoted to your development of China Ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide is a clear, flammable gas that has a sweet smell. It’s mainly known for being a chemical used in making other products and for sterilizing purposes. It reacts easily because of its special structure, which means it can take part in different chemical reactions.
- Ethylene oxide’s epoxide group allows for rapid reactions with nucleophiles compared to other ethers.
- Its application as a sterilant sets it apart from similar compounds that do not possess such biological activity.
Ethylene oxide Description
NAME: Ethylene oxide (EtO)
Synonyms: Oxirane / Epoxyethane / Oxacyclopropane / Dimethylene oxide / 1,2-Epoxyethane / Epoxide
Molecular Formula: C2H4O
Molecular Weight: 44.05
CAS NO.: 75-21-8
Density: 0.882 g/mL at 25 °C(lit.)
Boiling point: 10.7 °C(lit.)
Melting point: −111 °C(lit.)
Flashing point: Below -17.7ºC
Appearance: Colorless compressed liquefied gas
Solubility: Colorless gas with characteristic odor. Soluble in water, most organic solvents.
Properties: It is a colorless gas at room temperature and a colorless, easy-flowing liquid at low temperatures. It has an ethereal odor and a pungent odor at high concentrations. It can be mixed with water in any proportion.
Storage: Keep this in a cool place with good airflow, and make sure it’s stored in a safe area meant for flammable gases. Stay away from any heat or flames, and keep it out of direct light. Make sure the temperature doesn’t go above 30℃. It’s important to store it away from acids, bases, alcohol, and food-related chemicals, and don’t mix them. Use explosion-proof lights and make sure there’s proper ventilation. Avoid any tools that could spark. The storage area should have equipment for handling leaks just in case.
Safety Protection: It has an anesthetic effect on the central nervous system, irritates the mucous membrane, and poisons the cell plasma. After poisoning, the scene should be evacuated immediately and rescue measures such as oxygen inhalation and artificial respiration should be carried out. Operators should wear protective equipment. In high-concentration environments, activated carbon masks or compressed air and compressed anaerobic breathing masks should be worn.

Dimethylene oxide Applications
1. Ethylene oxide exhibits antimicrobial properties, is non-corrosive to metals, and leaves no residual odor, making it suitable for application as a gaseous fungicide on various materials.
2. It serves as a commonly utilized synthetic precursor, primarily in the synthesis of ethylene glycol.
3. It is also utilized for the manufacture of ethanolamines, ethers, non-ionic surfactants, antifreeze agents, plasticizers, additives, fragrances, high-energy fuels, propellants, among other products.
We offer competitive Ethylene oxide price, and exclusive discounts for large quantities, helping you effectively reduce procurement costs.
