Our kinds of labels colours for the following sterilization processes.

Sterilization Process

Steam
It is the process of destroying all microorganisms and their pathogenic products.It is accomplished by heat (wet steam under pressure at 120°C for at east 45 minutes, or dry heat at 160-180°C for 3 hours)

Ethylene Oxide (eto)
It is a gas used in manufacturing organic compounds and as a fumigant, fungicide, and sterilizing agent. It is highly irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes.

Hydrogen peroxide (PLASMA)
It is a disinfectant and sterilizing agent without antiseptic properties because it is rapidly inactivated by enzymes in the skin. However, the frothing that occurs is beneficial since it loosens debris in wounds.
