Industrial dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), with the chemical formula C₂H₆OS and CAS number 67-68-5, is a versatile organic solvent widely used in various industries. Compared to many alternative solvents, DMSO has advantages such as high solubility, high polarity, and low toxicity, thus playing a crucial role in modern chemical processing and manufacturing.
Are there different grades of DMSO solvent?
1. Pharmaceutical / Medical Grade
Purity: 99.9% and above.
Application: Designed for medical and pharmaceutical fields. DMSO acts as a solvent in drug compounding and is widely added to external preparations to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Quality Assurance: Fully refined with strict impurity removal. It is safe for human use under standard application guidelines.
Compliance: Compliant with official regulations from authorities including FDA and USP (United States Pharmacopeia).
2. Laboratory Grade
Purity: 99% or higher.
Application: Suitable for scientific research, routine lab testing and general experimental solvents, preventing impurities from disrupting test outcomes.
Quality Assurance: Highly purified to guarantee stable experimental performance, with slightly less stringent purification standards than pharmaceutical grade.
3. Industrial Grade
Purity: Ranges from 90% to 99%, containing relatively more impurities.
Application: Industrial DMSO is mainly applied in industrial manufacturing, such as the production of general solvents, paints, coatings, adhesives and plastic products.
Quality Assurance: Produced with basic purification only. Residual process by-products and trace impurities are common, restricted to industrial scenarios.
4. Agricultural Grade
Purity: Variable and unstable, generally below 90%.
Application: DMSO solvent is used for non-edible agricultural scenarios, including crop treatment agents, pesticide formulations and other farming processes.
Quality Assurance: No strict purification or comprehensive testing, with far looser quality control than pharmaceutical and laboratory grades.
5. Cosmetic Grade
Purity: 99% and above.
Application: Added to topical cosmetics like skin care creams and hair care products, functioning as a solvent and ingredient carrier.
Quality Assurance: Meets skin contact safety standards. Still less refined than pharmaceutical grade, so it is only suitable for surface cosmetic use instead of deep skin absorption formulas.
