NMP is a 5-member-ring compound containing nitrogen. It has a wide range of uses due to the following excellent characteristics.
---It is highly polar and miscible with most organic solvents (alcohols, ethers, ketones, aromatic
hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc.). Organic and inorganic substances are highly
soluble in it.
---It mixes with water in all proportions.
---It has a high flash point compared to similar solvents.
---The boiling point is high, the freezing point is low, and handling is easy.
---It is chemically and thermally stable, and not corrosive.
Applications
Petrochemical processing:
NMP is used as extraction medium in several industrial processes because of its affinity for unsaturated hydrocarbons and aromatics, for example butadiene recovery, BTX extraction, lube oil purification.
Electronics:
NMP is used as photoresist stripper, for defluxing, degreasing and cleaning.
NMP is a solvent for the production of FCCL, polyamide/polyimide wire enamels, epoxy and polyurethane coatings.
Pharmaceuticals:
NMP can be used as solvent, extraction medium.
Industrial and household cleaning:
NMP is used for paint stripping, in graffiti removers, oven cleaners, in automotive and industrial cleaner formulations.
Agrochemicals:
NMP can be used as solvent during synthesis or as a formulation agent.
