Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), CAS number 67-68-5, is toxic. Despite this, due to its unique chemical properties, it is classified as a hazardous chemical. As a highly penetrating solvent, it can rapidly transport dissolved toxic components across the skin barrier into the bloodstream. Furthermore, this liquid is classified as a Class 4 flammable liquid, and direct contact with skin and eyes may cause mild irritation.
The main safety risks and basic precautions for DMSO
Skin penetration risk:
This chemical can be rapidly absorbed through skin contact, potentially carrying harmful impurities, leading to stinging, burning, or other unpleasant skin reactions.
Irritation risk:
Direct contact can irritate skin tissue and mucous membranes of the eyes, causing localized discomfort.
Protective measures:
Operators should wear qualified protective gloves (butyl rubber gloves are recommended over latex gloves) and handle the product in a well-ventilated workplace.
Flammability characteristics:
DMSO is a flammable liquid with a flash point of 192°F (90°C).
Toxicological characteristics:
Under normal exposure conditions, DMSO has low acute toxicity. However, high-dose exposure or accidental ingestion may cause adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and central nervous system disorders.
