Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a sulfur-containing organic compound, which is a transparent liquid with no color and odors at normal temperature. It is a flammable liquid that is hygroscopic.It is characterized by high polarity, high boiling point, good thermal stability, non-proton andwater solubility, which can dissolve in ethanol, propyl alcohol, benzene and chloroform, etc.Most organic compounds are known as "universal solvents". A small amount of methyl mercaptan,methyl aldehyde, dimethyl sulfonate and other compounds are produced when the acid exists.In high temperature, there is a dissociation phenomenon, where the chlorine can react violently and emit light blue flame in the air. It can be used as organic solvent, reactive medium and organic synthesis intermediate. It can also be used as a dye solvent for synthetic fibers,dedye agents, dye carriers, and the absorbent of acetylene and sulfur dioxide.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is organic sulfide compound. It is colorless, odorless and transparent liquid at room temperature. It is a kind of moisture absorption combustible liquid. It has characteristics of high polarity, high boiling point, non-proton, mixed with water, low toxicity and good heat stability. It is soluble in ethanol, propanol, benzol, chloroform and many organic matters. It was known as “Omnipotent Solvent”
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can be widely used as solvent and reaction reagent, especially as processing solvent and laddering solvent in the acrylonitrile polymerization reaction, and synthetic solvent and laddering solvent for polyurethane, also for polyamide, polyimide, polysulfone resin, aromatic hydrocarbon, butadiene and Chlorofluoroaniline etc.
Praeterea, Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has the functions of anti-inflammatory analgesic, diuresis and mitigation. It is added in dugs as analgesia ingredient. It also known as “Omnipotent Drug”
