1. Cleaning & Disinfectants Solutions

• Solvent for Cleaning Agents: It is used as a solvent in cleaning products, enhancing their effectiveness in removing stains and residues.
• Disinfectant : Its antimicrobial properties make it useful in formulating disinfectants for various surfaces.

2. Metal Treatment

• Corrosion Inhibitor: It is employed in metal treatment processes to inhibit corrosion and enhance the surface properties of metals.
• Cleaning Agent: It serves as a cleaning agent for metal parts, effectively removing oils and contaminants.

3. Pulp & Paper Solutions

• Solvent:Used as a powerful solvent for lignin extraction, resin removal, and in specialty paper processing, aiding in improving chemical penetration and efficiency.
• Dissolving Agent for Pulp: It helps dissolve lignin and hemicellulose, aiding in the production of high-quality paper products.

4. Agrochemicals

• Solvents & Carriers : It acts as a solvent in the formulation of pesticide and herbicide products, enhancing the efficacy and application of these chemicals.
• Enhancer for Plant Uptake: It can facilitate the uptake of certain agrochemicals by plants, improving their effectiveness.

5. Pharmaceuticals

• Oxidizing Agent: Primarily a solvent in pharmaceutical synthesis, DMSO can also act as a mild oxidant or reductant in specific reactions. It facilitates SN2 reactions and is involved in Swern oxidation for converting alcohols to aldehydes/ketones.
• Solvents & Carriers: Polar, aprotic solvent with excellent penetrating ability; used in drug delivery, biological sample preservation, and organic synthesis.
• Drug Delivery: DMSO's ability to penetrate the skin and cellular membranes makes it a carrier solvent for drugs, especially in topical and transdermal applications.
• Analytical Reagent: Commonly used in pharmaceutical research as a solvent for drug formulation and testing.

6. Animal Healthcare

• Veterinary Medicine: Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is primarily utilized in veterinary medicine, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is commonly applied topically to reduce swelling and pain associated with musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions in animals.

7. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives 

• Paint Stripping: DMSO penetrates and softens paint layers, facilitating their removal. It is effective on various substrates, including wood, metal, concrete, and masonry. Typical application involves applying the DMSO-based stripper to the painted surface, allowing it to dwell for a period (often between 15 to 60 minutes), and then removing the softened paint through scraping or washing.
