Details

Dimethylformamide 99.8% ACS/AR Grade

Dimethylformamide (IUPAC name N,N-dimethylfomamide) is structurally the same as formamide but with two methyl groups replacing the two hydrogens. It is a clear and odorless liquid, with widespread use as a solvent.

DMF is used in the production of acrylic fibers and plastics . It is also used as a solvent in peptide coupling for pharmaceuticals, in the development and production of pesticides, and in the manufacture of adhesives, synthetic leathers, fibers, films, and surface coatings.

The AR (Analytical Reagent) designation is monitored under the ACS (American Chemical Society), ensuring high purity and integrity of reagents.

Common Uses and Applications

Peptide-coupling in pharmaceuticals

Solid-phase peptide synthesis

Fibers and synthetic leathers
