| Applications | Uses: Dimethylformamide is primarily used as an industrial solvent. Dimethylformamide solutions are used to process polymer fibers, films, and surface coatings, to permit easy spinning of acrylic fibers, to produce wire enamels, and as a crystallization medium in the pharmaceutical industry., Used as a solvent in acrylic fiber spinning, textile dyeing, and paint stripping, also used in coating, printing, gluing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, [http:, www.cdc.gov, niosh, 90-105.html] Used as a solvent for vinyl resins, [Kanerva, p. 1786] Used in synthetic leather manufacturing, [JOEM 2004, 46:729-736], Semiconductor Manufacturing [Category: Industry], Textiles (Fiber & Fabric Manufacturing) [Category: Industry], Painting (Solvents) [Category: Paint], Working with Glues and Adhesives [Category: Other], Plastic Composites Manufacturing [Category: Industry], Textiles (Printing, Dyeing, or Finishing) [Category: Industry], For N, N-Dimethylformamide (USEPA, OPP Pesticide Code: 366200) there are 0 labels match., SRP: Not registered for current use in the U.S., but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses., The most important use of DMF as a solvent for polymers is in the preparation of polyacrylonitrile solutions for the manufacture of fibrous polyacrylonitrile ... In addition DMF is used as a solvent in the preparation of high quality surfaces based on polyurethanes, which are otherwise difficult to solubilize, and it is employed as a solvent for coating surfaces with polyamides., Solvent for liquids and gases. ... Solvent for Orlon and similar polyacrylic fibers. ..., Used, wherever a solvent with a slow rate of evaporation is needed., Pharmaceutical processing and acrylic fiber production, reaction and crystallizing solvent, solvent for depositing polyurethane coatings on leather and artificial leather fabrics, separation of aliphatic hydrocarbons, recovery of CO2 in flue gases, quencher and cleaner of hot-dip tinned parts, used in high voltage capacitors, industrial paint stripping applications, solvent, reagent, and catalyst in organic chemistry, For more Uses (Complete) data for N, N-DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page., Dimethyl formamide (DMF) is commonly used as a solvent for chemical reactions. (L1658), Use Classification: SOLVENTS, Industry Uses: pH regulating agent, Fuel agents, Semiconductor and photovoltaic agent, Tanning agents not otherwise specified, Solvent, Intermediate, Not Known or Reasonably Ascertainable, Catalyst, Soil amendments (fertilizers), Stabilizing agent, Cleaning agent, Consumer Uses: Cleaning agent, Methods of Manufacturing: The direct or one-step synthesis of DMF begins with either pure carbon monoxide or a gas stream containing carbon monoxide. This is reacted in a continuous process with N, N-dimethylamine, by using a solution of alkali alkoxide (usually sodium methoxide) in methanol as catalyst. Methyl formate is presumably formed as an intermediate. The reaction mixture passes over an external heat exchanger to remove the excess heat generated and to ensure thorough mixing of the components. The reaction is conducted between 0.5 and 11 MPa at 50 - 200 °C. The reaction mixture exits the reactor through a decompression chamber. In addition to N, N-dimethylformamide, the crude product contains methanol, a certain amount of unreacted N, dissolved carbon monoxide, and residual catalyst. The addition of acid or water deactivates any catalyst present, resulting in the formation of sodium formate. Dissolved carbon monoxide, together with inert gases, escapes from the mixture during decompression, and the off-gases are removed by combustion. Preliminary distillation is followed by a second distillation in a separate column, here, dimethylformamide is separated from methanol which contains traces of N, N-dimethylamine. Further distillation results in a product of 99.9%purity., The two-step process for the synthesis of N, N-dimethylformamide differs from direct synthesis because methyl formate is prepared separately and introduced in the form of ca. 96% pure (commercial-grade) material. Equimolar amounts of methyl formate and N, N-dimethylamine are subjected to a continuous reaction at 60 - 100 °C and 0.1 - 0.3 MPa. The resulting product is a mixture of N, N-dimethylformamide and methanol. The purification process involves distillation ... No separation of salts is required because no catalysts are involved in the process. According to the corrosive properties of both starting materials and products, stainless steel has to be used as material of construction for production facilities., Reaction of methyl formate with dimethylamine., Manufactured by the reaction of CO and dimethylamine. The reaction is carried out in the liquid phase using a sodium methoxide catalyst at 110-120 °C and 350 kPa (3.5 atm)., Impurities: Water (0.05%), dimethylamine (15 ppm), formic acid (20 ppm), iron (0.05 ppm), U.S. Production: 2023: 85, 000, 000 - <100, 000 lb, 2022: 70, 000 - <85, 2021: 55, 000 - <70, 2020: 40, 000 - <55, (1972) PROBABLY GREATER THAN 4.54X10+5 G, (1991) 25, 000 tons, N, N-Dimethyformmide is listed as a High Production Volume (HPV) chemical (65FR81686).
