Dimethylformamide DMF is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fishy or Ammonia-like odor. It is used as a solvent, mainly for resins and polymers, and is used in making coatings, film adhesive and printing ink.
N,N-Dimethylformamide CAS No. 68-12-2
Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a slight amine odor. The solvent properties of DMF are particularly attractive because of the high dielectric constant, the aprotic nature of the solvent, its wide liquid range and low volatility.
