Dimethyl sulfoxide: the universal solvent for industry and science
Dimethyl sulfoxide is an extremely important aprotic polar solvent that is soluble in both water and organic solvents. Its excellent solubility makes it a powerful assistant in fine chemical synthesis, solvent extraction and other fields.
In the field of electronics, DMSO is an indispensable developer and de-bake agent in integrated circuit manufacturing, ensuring the quality and performance of electronic products. In the chemical industry, dimethyl sulfoxide is widely used in the production of synthetic resins, polyester resins, alkyd resins and other polymer materials due to its excellent solubility properties.
Dmso solventis also used as a solvent in the manufacture of paints, coatings, cosmetics, rubber and other products. Due to its high polarity, high boiling point, good thermal stability, aprotic, and miscible with water, dimethyl sulfoxide is known as the "universal solvent".
In addition, dimethyl sulfoxide is used as an excellent solvent for extracting organic matter in the extraction of aromatic hydrocarbons. It has the advantages of good selectivity, non-toxicity, and non-corrosiveness. It is also used as a solvent for acrylic polymerization and spinning, as well as a polymerization and condensation solvent for acrylic resin, and an extraction solvent for the separation of alkanes and aromatics. Not only that, but DMSO has low toxicity and hygroscopicity, making it a valuable substance in a variety of chemical processes. It can also be used as analytical reagents and gas chromatography stationary solutions, as well as solvents in ultraviolet spectroscopy analysis.
It is worth mentioning that dimethyl sulfoxide also has excellent performance in antifreeze. It does not freeze at -60°C and will release heat when mixed with water or snow. Therefore, DMSO has become an ideal component of automobile antifreeze, brake oil, hydraulic fluid and other products. It is also used in deicers, coatings, various latex antifreezes, gasoline, and jet fuel antifreezes. In summary, dimethyl sulfoxide has become an indispensable and important solvent in industrial and scientific fields due to its excellent solubility, wide range of uses and precious properties.
