Product Description

Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a clear, colorless liquid with a faint amine-like odor. It is a highly polar solvent and a versatile industrial chemical used in various applications. DMF is synthesized through the reaction of dimethylamine with formic acid or carbon monoxide. It is valued for its excellent solvency power, high boiling point, and wide range of solubility. DMF finds extensive use as a solvent in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and specialty chemicals. It is also employed as a reaction medium in various chemical processes, including peptide synthesis, polymerization reactions, and metal surface treatment.

Additionally, DMF serves as a solvent in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, inks, and dyes due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. However, DMF should be handled with care as it is known to be toxic and may cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, and other health problems upon prolonged or repeated exposure. Proper safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, should be observed when working with Dimethylformamide.
