What is dimethylformamide DMF?
The CAS number for dimethylformamide (DMF) is 68-12-2.
Dimethylformamide (DMF), with the chemical formula C₃H₇NO, is a colorless, transparent liquid with a boiling point of 153.0°C (at 101.3 kPa). [1]DMF exhibits strong polarity and is miscible with water, ethers, alcohols, esters, ketones, unsaturated hydrocarbons, and aromatics. Known as a "universal solvent," it finds extensive applications in film manufacturing, fiber production, coatings, pharmaceuticals, synthetic leather, and the apparel industry.
N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) properties
N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a colorless, transparent liquid with the following physical and chemical properties:
- Physical state and odor: Colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature with a faint, peculiar odor (similar to fishy smell);
- Density and Boiling Point: Density approximately 0.948 g/cm³ (20°C), boiling point 153°C;
- Melting Point and Flash Point: Melting point -61°C, flash point 58°C, classified as a flammable liquid;
- Solubility: Highly polar, miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, esters, ketones, halogenated hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Dissolves polymers such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, earning it the title of "universal solvent";
- Stability: Exhibits good thermal stability in the absence of acids or bases, resisting decomposition when heated to boiling point; however, it decomposes above 350°C to form carbon monoxide and dimethylamine;
- Other Properties: Undergoes hydrolysis to produce formic acid and dimethylamine when boiled in aqueous solutions; forms stable complexes with hydrochloric acid and heavy metal salts.
