Uses of N-Methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP)

 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) is a polar aprotic solvent that has the advantages of low toxicity, high boiling point, outstanding solvency, strong selectivity, and good stability. It is widely used in purification of aromatic hydrocarbon extraction, acetylene, olefins, and diolefins.

 It is used in industrial cleaning, and it serves as a solvent for the production of pesticides, engineering plastics, coatings, synthetic fibers, and integrated circuits.

 It can also be used as an industrial cleanser, dispersant, dye, lubricant, and antifreeze.

 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone is an excellent solvent, widely used in aromatics extraction, lubricating oil refining, acetylene enrichment, butadiene separation, and synthesis gas desulfurization.

 It is used in gas desulfurization, lubricating oil refining, lubricating oil antifreeze, olefin extraction, and as a solvent for insoluble engineering plastics polymerization.

 It can be used in herbicide, to clean insulation materials, semiconductor industry precision instruments and circuit boards, to recycle PVC exhaust, as a detergent, dye supplement and dispersing agent.

 It is used in mediums for polymerization reactions such as engineering plastics and aramid fiber.

 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone is used as a polyvinylidene fluoride solvent and electrode auxiliary material for lithium-ion batteries.

 high purity grade for ICP-MS detection.

For peptide synthesis.

CAS No: 872-50-4

N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) is a colorless, transparent oily liquid with a slight amine odor. It is soluble in water, alcohols, ethers, esters, ketones, halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and castor oil. It has low volatility, good thermal stability, and chemical stability, and can evaporate with water vapor. It has hygroscopicity and is sensitive to light. This product is an important chemical raw material and a highly selective and stable polar solvent. It has low toxicity, a high boiling point, and strong dissolving power. It is non-flammable, biodegradable, recyclable, safe to use and suitable for a variety of formula uses and other advantages. NMP is a polar aprotic solvent with low toxicity, high boiling point, and excellent dissolving power. Its advantages lie in the strong selectivity and stability. It is widely used in the extraction of aromatics, purification of acetylene, olefins, diolefins, solvents for polyvinylidene fluoride, electrode auxiliary materials for lithium-ion batteries, synthesis gas desulfurization, and lubricating oil refining. It can be used as antifreeze lubricants, olefin extractants, solvents for insoluble engineering plastics polymerization, agricultural herbicides, and insulating materials, and in the integrated circuit manufacturing, semiconductor industry precision instruments, circuit board cleaning, PVC tail gas recovery, cleaning agents, dye auxiliaries, dispersants, etc. It is also used as a solvent for polymers and media for polymerization, such as engineering plastics and aramid fibers.
