N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow, hygroscopic liquid with a faint, ammonia-like odor. It is fully miscible with water and most organic solvents. DMF is widely recognized for its high solvency power and low evaporation rate, making it a universal solvent in many industrial applications. It is primarily used as a solvent in the production of synthetic fibers, films, surface coatings, and pharmaceuticals. DMF is also employed in the manufacture of adhesives, resins, and as a medium for chemical reactions due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar compounds. Its high boiling point and thermal stability make it suitable for high-temperature applications.
