WebSeminar: DMSO for synthesis and formulation of Polymers - Alternative to toxic solvents ?

01/30/2008

Join our experts Laurence Couvreur and Bernard Monguillon in a Webseminar on February 5th on SpecialChem.com and benefit from their experience in solvents to understand how efficient DMSO can be in polymer applications. In this free technical tutorial, they will discuss about the solvency parameter of DMSO in applications such as polymer formulation and polymer synthesis.

 

DMSO is well known in the chemical industry as a good solvent for synthesis and formulation in a variety of applications such as pharmaceutical, agrochemistry, electronics, paint stripping... but you may not know his potential in polymer fields.
The high solvency characteristic of DMSO enables it to dissolve many organic raw materials and polymers. Therefore, it can be used for synthesis, formulation and cleaning steps.
DMSO is a dipolar aprotic solvent possessing a relatively benign toxicity profile which is a key benefit, allowing it to easily substitute for NMP or DMF in these applications. Contrary to NMP and DMF, DMSO is not labelled and represents no major risk to human health or to the environment.

 

What you will learn:

  • DMSO has a very efficient power of polymer dissolution
  • DMSO is an excellent alternative to NMP or DMF in polymer synthesis or polymer formulation
  • DMSO is a non-toxic (and low odor) solvent
  • DMSO can be used in polymer cleaning

Who should attend? 

  •  Polymer formulators
  •  Polymer manufacturers
  •  Cleaning products producers – polymer synthesis professionals
     
    Attend this free WebSeminar, and discover how DMSO can be used in polymer applications!
