Apolar aprotic solvent. It can mix with water and many organic solvents.

N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF)

Apolar aprotic solvent. It can mix with water and many organic solvents. It has a slight ammonia odor, is low volatile, and its vapor is flammable.

Areas of Use: Widely used in the synthetic material industry. Used as a solvent for vinyl resins and acetylene, and as a carrier gas in organic synthetics.

AREAS OF USE

As a solvent for polymers and resins

As a catalyst in chemical reactions

In gas absorption

As an electrolyte solvent

As a solvent in extractions

As a raw material in production

As a solvent in crystallizations

Due to its strong solvent properties, DMF is most commonly used in film and fiber production, as well as in adhesive and coating formulations

Using DMF as a solvent is more economical than using low-priced solvents because of DMF's ability to dissolve more solid substances at practical working viscosities

DMF is particularly effective as a solvent for vinyl polymers, urethanes, epoxy resins, polyacrylonitrile, and polyamides.

Due to its high purity and selective solvent properties, DMF has an important solvent feature in processes such as removing or recovering acetylene; separating butadiene from hydrocarbons
