Frequently Asked Questions About Chlorine Dioxide
General Compatibility
Q How does CD compare to EO for material compatibility?
A CD operates at ambient temperature and neutral pH, making it compatible with heat-sensitive materials that EO processes may damage. CD also eliminates residual concerns and doesn't require lengthy aeration periods.
Q Can CD sterilize devices with electronic components?
A Yes. Unlike irradiation technologies, CD doesn't damage electronic circuits, RFID tags, or sensors. Devices remain fully functional after sterilization.
Q What about materials that are sensitive to oxidation?
A While CD is an oxidizing agent, it has the lowest oxidation potential among common sterilants. Most materials compatible with hydrogen peroxide sterilization are also compatible with CD and EtO.
