Dimethyl Formamide DMF Virgin 99.9% Virgin Grade
Formula: C₃H₇NO

Dimethyl Formamide

DMF (Universal Organic Solvent)

Dimethyl Formamide (DMF) is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a faint amine odor. Known as the "Universal Solvent," it has exceptional solvency power for a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. Ruvon supplies only Virgin Grade DMF, ensuring high purity for critical reactions in Pharma and PU Leather production.

CAS Number 68-12-2
Purity 99.9% Min
Boiling Point 153°C

Product Overview

DMF is a polar aprotic solvent with a high boiling point. It facilitates reactions that follow polar mechanisms, such as $S_N2$ reactions. It is miscible with water and most organic liquids.

Ruvon Quality Guarantee: We strictly supply Virgin Grade. Unlike Recycled/Distilled DMF (which often contains water, amines, and decomposition products), our DMF guarantees reaction stability and consistent yield in pharma synthesis.

Mechanism: The "Polar Aprotic" Advantage

Why use DMF?

DMF is special because it is Polar (dissolves salts) but Aprotic (does not have H+ to donate).

  • Reaction Accelerator: In organic synthesis (like making medicines), DMF solvates cations (Na+, K+) very well, leaving the anions (like CN-, Cl-) "naked" and highly reactive. This speeds up substitution reactions ($S_N2$) by millions of times compared to alcohols.
  • Polymer Dissolution: Its high polarity allows it to dissolve difficult polymers like Polyurethane (PU) and Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), which are used to make synthetic leather and acrylic fibers.

Industrial Applications

PU Leather (Synthetic)

The primary solvent used to dissolve Polyurethane resin for coating fabric to make "Artificial Leather" for bags and shoes.

Pharmaceutical APIs

Reaction solvent and crystallizing agent for antibiotics, vitamins, and other Active Pharma Ingredients.

Acrylic Fibers

Used as a spinning solvent for producing Polyacrylonitrile (Acrylic) fibers used in sweaters and blankets.

Agrochemicals

Solvent and carrier for pesticides and insecticides that are not soluble in water.

Electronics

Used as a cleaning agent and stripper for epoxy resins in PCB manufacturing.

Petrochemicals

Used to extract Butadiene and Acetylene from hydrocarbon streams.

Safety & Handling Protocols

Toxic & Flammable

DMF is a Class 3 Flammable Liquid and has significant health risks.

  • Liver Hazard: DMF is hepatotoxic (damages liver). Avoid all skin contact and inhalation.
  • Skin Absorption: It penetrates skin easily and carries other dissolved chemicals into the bloodstream. Butyl Rubber gloves are mandatory.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources.
