DMSO for synthesis and formulation of Polymers - Alternative to toxic solvents ?
View Presentation DMSO is well known in the chemical industry as a good solvent for synthesis and formulation in several applications as Pharmaceutical, agrochemistry, electronics, paint stripping...but you may not hnown his potential in polymer.
The high solvent power of DMSO enables it to dissolve many organic raw materials and polymers. Therefore, it can be used for synthesis, formulation and cleaning steps.
The low toxicological profile of DMSO, a dipolar aprotic solvent, is key benefit, allowing it replace easily NMP or DMF in this kind of application. Contrary to NMP and DMF, DMSO is not labelled and represents no major risk to human health or for the environment.
