Overview of N-Methyl Pyrrolidone
N-Methyl Pyrrolidone (C5H9NO) is an uncolored, clear, somewhat yellow or colorless liquid that is widely utilized as a solvent in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, and in polymer processing. It is highly valued due to its high solvency capacity with low volatility as well as thermal stability. This makes it appropriate for both industrial and specialty applications.
The chemical formula for N-Methyl Pyrrolidone is C5H9NO. The structure of the compound is comprised of the five-membered lactam rings with the methyl substitution, resulting in high polarity as well as hydrogen bonding properties. N-Methyl Pyrrolidone is used extensively as a catalyst, extraction solvent, and cleaning agent in a variety of formulations for industrial use. It is a good addition to Polysantol and Polyvinyl Alcohol for specialized polymers and coatings.
