N,N-Dimethylformamide, identifiable by CAS 68-12-2, functions as a polar aprotic solvent used primarily in the production of polyurethane (PU) synthetic leather and acrylic fibers. Chemically defined as the dimethyl-substituted amide of formic acid, this colorless, water-miscible liquid serves as a reaction medium for pharmaceutical synthesis and a carrier solvent for industrial gases. The substance, often referred to as DMF or Dimethylformamide in processing data, acts as a high-solvency agent for resins and a catalyst in chemical reactions. We facilitate bulk supply of this organic solvent with competitive factory pricing, capable of meeting customized specifications for moisture content and conductivity, backed by comprehensive MSDS, TDS, COA documentation.
