DMSO is widely used in the electronic industry, especially in the flat screen panels manufacture.

Arkema has developed a high-quality specific Electronic (EG) Grade, with extremely low and stable metal content.

It can be used at different stages :

• photoresist stripping;
• as rinsing agent;
• other cleaning operations.

It exhibits several outstanding advantages for electronic applications :

• High solvent power;
• High boiling point;
• Easily recyclable;
• Water miscible.

The major application for DMSO in the Electronic industry is the stripping of photoresist during the manufacture of semiconductors, as shown in the following scheme.
