As applies to the medical products industry, gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide fumigation (EtO) is increasingly used to sterilise every day cosmetics and sanitary preparations where product integrity can be compromised by microbiological contamination. Also, it is used to sterilise or decontaminate pharmaceutical raw materials and veterinary products.

Today, no manufacturer or importer can afford the risk of contamination and the subsequent customer backlash and costly returns through contaminated products.

The main advantages of using gamma irradiation and EtO are:
       • High reliability. No area or part of the product can escape from gamma rays.
       • Total penetration – includes multi package goods.
       • Consistent results.
       • Covers a broad range of cosmetics, and pharmaceutical and veterinary products.
       • Safe and environmentally friendly.
