Product Highlights: 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.

Product Applications: NMP is used to produce fine chemicals from mass-produced chemicals.

NMP applications in the electronics field have expanded in recent years. NMP's high polarity and high solvency power along with our high purity, high-grade production technology enable the high performance needed in this field.

NMP can dissolve organic and inorganic compounds equally well or better than chlorofluorocarbon solvents.

Therefore NMP is used in various industrial fields as a cleaning or release agent.

NMP is replacing 1,1,1-trichloroethane in metal cleaning applications due to the world-wide environmental pollution problems associated with chlorinated solvents

Packaging & Availability

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Conditions: Since NMP is hygroscopic, if moisture content is to be controlled, it is important to keep storage containers tightly closed or under a dry nitrogen atmosphere.

Since NMP is a strong degreaser, in the event of skin contact wash immediately with water.
