Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻoheheʻe wai no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā paheʻe i ka microscopy electron. Ua hōʻike pū ʻia ka dermatitis ʻoihana i ka wā e hoʻohana ana i ka ʻili disinfectant swab.

Kemimi waena i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā polyethers e hana i nā polyurethanes; i ka hoʻomākaukauʻana i nā polyols urethane a me propylene a me dipropylene glycols; i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i nā lubricants, surfactants, oil demulsifiers. E like me ka solvent; fumigant; lepo sterilant.

Hoʻohana ʻia ka propylene oxide ma ke ʻano he fumigant no nā meaʻai; ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa no nā wahie, nā aila wela, a me nā hydrocarbons chlorinated; he wahie—e pahū i loko o nā pū; a e hoʻonui i ka pale ʻana o ka palaho o ka lāʻau a me ka pāpaʻi (Mallari et al. 1989). Hōʻike nā haʻawina hou e hoʻonui ka fumigant o propylene oxide ma kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o 100 mm Hg i hiki ke hoʻolilo iā ia i mea ʻokoʻa i ka methyl bromide no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wikiwiki ʻana o nā mea kūʻai.
