General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a biobased greener solvent and thus it aligns with "Use of Renewable Feedstocks" and "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries". Click here for more information. Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a sustainable alternative to dipolar aprotic solvents such as NMP and DMF, suitable for organic synthesis, as Baylis-Hillman reaction, and due to its high solubilization capacity when used as co-solvent for nonpolar drugs, make it an interesting compound for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as well.
Application
- Polymer membranes preparation
- Solvent in Baylis-Hillman reactions
- Co-solvent to improve solubility of nonpolar compounds
- Potential substitutes to short-chain glycol ethers
Features and Benefits
- Bio-based
- Made from Renewable Resource - straw
- Non-toxic solvent
- High solubility potential
- High boiling point
