Synonyms
Methyl sulphoxide; DMSO; dimethyl sulfoxide; Methylsulfinylmethane; DIMETHYL SULPHOXIDE
Description
Dimethyl sulfoxide is a colorless, odorless, highly polar, aprotic transparent liquid with strong hygroscopicity. Due to its excellent solvency (capable of dissolving most gases, liquids and solids), it is known as a universal solvent. It tends to condense into colorless crystals at low temperatures.
