Description
Dimethylsulfone Product Overview
Dimethylsulfone (C2H6O2S) is a white, odorless crystalline powder that melts at about 107–110°C. It dissolves easily in water. It occurs naturally in small amounts in some foods, and producers make it commercially by oxidizing dimethyl sulfoxide.
Producers of nutritional products use MSM as a source of sulfur in tablets, capsules and powders, often in combination with D-Glucosamine HCl or Collagen peptide. Regulations in each market govern its use in food and the claims allowed. Cosmetic formulators use it in creams, lotions and hair care products.
In industry, its high polarity, thermal stability and low toxicity make dimethylsulfone a useful solvent for high-temperature reactions and for dissolving inorganic and organic compounds. It also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
