Technical Properties

Polar Aprotic Solvents Overview

Dimethylformamide (DMF) and Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) are versatile hydrophilic polar aprotic solvents characterized by high boiling points, low volatility at room temperature, and elevated dielectric constants. They exhibit exceptional solvent power for difficult-to-dissolve polymers, polyacrylonitrile, and peptide intermediate reagents.

Primary Industrial Applications

  • ✓ Synthetic Leather & PU: Coagulation and wet-processing solvent in polyurethane coated fabrics.
  • ✓ Acrylic Fiber Spinning: Core solvent in wet and dry spinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers.
  • ✓ Pharmaceutical & Peptides: Reaction medium for solid-phase peptide synthesis and API intermediate synthesis.
  • ✓ Agrochemical Formulations: Carrier solvent in active pesticide and herbicide concentrate formulation.

Packaging & Handling

Supplied in dedicated 200 Liter high-density plastic or coated steel drums (approx. 190–200 kg net weight) sealed to prevent atmospheric moisture absorption.

Storage & Hygroscopic Precautions

DMF and DMAC are hygroscopic solvents that absorb atmospheric moisture rapidly. Always keep bungs tightly secured under nitrogen dry pad where possible. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to plant transfer.
