Product Description
Dimethylformamide (DMF, CAS 68-12-2) is an important high-purity organic solvent widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and synthetic material industries.
It has excellent solvency, good chemical stability, and a high boiling point, making it a highly effective solvent for a wide range of organic and inorganic substances.
It appears as a colorless transparent liquid at room temperature with a slight amine-like odor. Our DMF is produced as industrial or electronic grade with purity over 99%, strict control of moisture, acidity, and other impurities, ensuring stable and consistent quality for industrial use.
DMF is mainly used in chemical synthesis, usually as a reaction solvent or medium to improve reaction efficiency and product yield. It is also widely applied in synthetic leather (PU/PVC), pharmaceuticals, and electronic materials processing.
In addition, DMF is used in polymer manufacturing, agrochemicals, and coatings due to its strong dissolving ability and compatibility with various substances. In usage, DMF should be handled under dry and sealed conditions to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
It is widely applied in synthetic materials, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals industries. With high efficiency and stable performance, DMF has become an indispensable basic material in modern chemical industries.
orage systems. With high safety and stable performance, EC has become an indispensable basic material in modern energy and chemical industries.
