What is DMSO

WHAT... IS DMSO?
(Dimethyl Sulfoxide)

DMSO is commonly used as a vehicle for drug delivery, as a solvent for plant extractions and oils, and as a cleaning and degreasing agent. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly garlicky odour and a high boiling point.

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is sold as a solvent in Canada and many other countries because of its unique properties as a highly polar, aprotic solvent. It has the ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar compounds, including water-insoluble substances such as fats and oils, making it useful for a variety of industrial and scientific applications.

DMSO Canada only sells premium USP Grade Dimethyl Sulfoxide -  99.995% quality, and 0% additives or fillers, Micro filtered, purified and processed to be crystal clear with no odour.  USP Grade, essential for medical and pharmaceutical industries. This USP-grade DMSO ensures high purity and adherence to stringent United States Pharmacopeia standards, making it ideal for applications demanding the highest level of quality.

INDUSTRIES THAT USE DMSO

No recommendations expressed or implied as to the use of this product for any application. 

DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a liquid solvent that can freeze under certain conditions.

Here's what you need to know about DMSO freezing: 

Freezing Point

The freezing point of pure DMSO is approximately 18.5 degrees Celsius (65.3 degrees Fahrenheit). This means that DMSO will start to solidify and form crystals at temperatures below this point. 

 

Crystallization

When DMSO does freeze, it forms crystals that can resemble ice. The crystallization process can be initiated by cooling the DMSO below its freezing point or by introducing a seed crystal into the liquid.

 

Thawing

To thaw frozen DMSO, simply raise the temperature above its freezing point. DMSO will return to its liquid state once it reaches temperatures above 18.5 degrees Celsius (65.3 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

Freezing of DMSO is typical and does not effect the quality.
