N,N-Dimethylethanolammonium formate is a viscous liquid at room temperature. It is known to be easy to recover and purify after use through conventional distillation. This allows it to be reused multiple times.

Imidazolium-type ionic liquids such as imidazolium formate are important biorefinery materials that affords low cost, reduced viscosity, minimal toxicity, biodegradability, and recyclability. Additionally, the heterocyclic imidazole ring contributes some aromatic character while the ammonium salt adds to its excellent aqueous solubility, which a key advantage in dissolving complex biomolecules even hard-to-dissolve drugs, carbohydrates, and proteins. Other critical uses are in battery applications in situations where substitutes for water or volatile organic solvents are required.

2-Hydroxyethylammonium formate is one of the simplest ionic liquids. This ionic liquid is miscible with many solvents, both aqueous and organic. It is a sustainable chemical because of its low volatility, high chemical and physical stability, recyclable, reusable, and easy to handle.
