Oct 2007 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Solubility Data Introduction DMSO, one of the strongest organic solvents, has been used commercially for over forty years. It is an effective solvent for a wide array of organic materials, including many polymers. DMSO also dissolves many inorganic salts, particularly transition metals nitrates, cyanides and dichromates. DMSO is miscible with water and most organic liquids. This bulletin summarizes solubility of the following materials in DMSO: Organics (pages 2-3) Active pharmaceutical Ingredients (pages 4-6) Resins and polymers (pages 8-10) Inorganics (pages 10-11) Gases (page 12) Pharmaceutical Excipient Solubility Data (pages 16-17) New! DMSO Gel Preparation Data (pages 18-19) Data related to the solvent properties of DMSO are given in tables on the following pages: Relative Hansen Solubility Parameter Data (page 12) Suggested DMSO Formulations for Industrial Solvent Replacement (page 14) Hansen Solubility Parameter Data f...
