Usage:
* Chemical Properties Clear colorless to light yellow liquid. very stable under neutral conditions, hygroscopic and miscible with most organic solvents.
* Uses dimethyl isosorbide is a carrier, solvent, and viscosity controller. Its particular skin-penetrating ability opens the possibility of enhancing active substance efficacy in optical products. Its physical characteristics and solubility properties are superior to those of propylene glycol, glycerin, or ethyl alcohol.
* Uses Isosorbide dimethyl ether (DMI), a sustainable solvent, is widely used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.
General applications:
* DMI can be used as an alternative green solvent for epoxidation of cyclooctene, Baylis–Hillman reaction of isomaltulose-derived aldehydes with α,β-unsaturated ketones and also in solid-phase synthesis.
* It can be used as a coalescent for water-borne paints, where it acts as a co-solvent during the water loss phase and as a coalescing agent during the film formation.
* Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a biobased greener solvent and thus aligns with “Use of Renewable Feedstocks” and “Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries”.
