NANOMICROBICIDE: ENHANCER OF COLD ESTERILIZATION

1. Liquid product containing water with nanocapsules
holding Ethylene Oxide

2. Nanotechnoly
• Manipulation and
exploration of materials
in nanometric scale
• High penetration power
Microbicide
• Chemichal substance
which has the capacity of
killing microorganisms
• Ethylene oxide is the
most efficient
• High Flammability

3. Product Description
Water: ↑ estelization effectiviness, ↑ temperature stabilization
Nanocapsules: ↑ security, ↑ penetration in microorganisms, ↓ ammount of Ethylene
Oxide
Ethylene Oxide: ↑ capacity of destroying microorganisms can produce spoore

6. Produce sterilization using Ethylene Oxide simpler, more effective and
quickly
Lowering hospital
infections
Higher recovery Lower ambiental impact
Being marketable
Serve more types of products beeing
sterilized

7. » Stability for the Ethylene Oxide
» Steadness of the temperature during the
process
Directing of liberation of microbicide agent
» Fewer residues of Ethylene Oxide
impregnating the object beeing sterilized
Temperature ≤ 50ºc Temperature ≥ 58ºc Ethylene Oxide
