Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is a highly polar and water miscible organic liquid. It is essentially odorless, and has a low level of toxicity. As do all dipolar aprotic solvents, DMSO has a relatively high boiling point. Gaylord Chemical Company L.L.C. (GCC) is the world’s leading provider of Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) products.
Since the early 1960’s, the focus of GCC has been on the development of new uses for DMSO. In order to meet customer-specific needs, GCC has pioneered the development of multiple grades of DMSO, including the only DMSO grade that meets USP specifications. The electronics industry values the low-metals grades we produce. Learn more about the grades through the links below.
