Industrial grade DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a lower-purity form of DMSO designed for use in industrial processes, not for medical, pharmaceutical. It typically has a purity level ranging from 90% to 99% (lower than pharmaceutical-grade dimethyl sulfoxide, which is often ≥99.9% pure).
What is dimethyl sulfoxide used for in industry?
- Solvent: DMSO is a highly effective solvent for many organic and inorganic compounds.
- Agriculture: Used to dissolve pesticides and herbicides.
- Coatings and Adhesives: Improves solubility, wetting, and dispersion in paints, varnishes, and adhesives.
- Electronics: CAS 67-68-5 dimethyl sulfoxide is used in the manufacture of microelectronic devices to clean surfaces and remove photoresist.
- Automotive: Functions as an antifreeze and hydraulic fluid.
- Manufacturing: Used as a degreasing agent and in the production of synthetic fibers.
- Chemical synthesis: DMSO solvent can be used as a reagent or a catalyst in various organic reactions.
