Overview of Dimethylformamide
Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a high-boiling, polar aprotic solvent widely used in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, polymer, and specialty chemical industries. It is valued for its excellent solvency power, ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds, and strong compatibility with many chemical reactions. Due to these properties, DMF plays a critical role in chemical synthesis, resin production, and process chemistry.
Dimethylformamide is extensively used in industries requiring efficient reaction media, high-purity solvents, and controlled processing conditions. Its stability, miscibility with water and most organic solvents, and strong dissolving capacity make it an essential industrial solvent.
Related products available on our website that are commonly used alongside DMF include Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), Dimethyl Amine, Diethylamine, and N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP). These solvents and amines are frequently used in pharmaceutical synthesis, polymer processing, and industrial formulations.
