EO (Ethylene Oxide) Sterilization Indicator

EO (Ethylene Oxide) Sterilization IndicatorReliable Colour Change for EO Sterilization Processes

Our indicator inks for EO (ethylene oxide) sterilization are formulated to produce a controlled, distinct colour change when exposed to process conditions. They are designed to provide a reliable visual process indicator on medical packaging and suitable printing substrates. Our formulations are developed for colour change suited to process conditions, printing performance and substrate compatibility.

Our formulation work evaluates critical parameters together, including the clarity of colour change, printing performance, substrate compatibility and stability. Solutions for medical kraft paper and different packaging surfaces can be optimized for the printing system, manufacturing conditions and application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions about Sterilization Indicator Inks
What is an EO sterilization indicator?

An EO sterilization indicator is a chemical indicator system that changes colour under specified process conditions to visually indicate exposure to the EO sterilization process.

How does EO indicator ink work?

EO indicator ink is formulated to produce a controlled change from its initial colour to a target final colour when exposed to specified sterilization process conditions.

Which surfaces can EO indicator ink be applied to?

Depending on formulation and application requirements, solutions can be developed for medical kraft paper and suitable sterilization packaging surfaces.

Are EO indicator inks suitable for flexographic printing?

Yes. Indicator ink solutions suitable for flexographic printing systems can be developed according to product and application requirements.
