Information of N-Methylformamide(NMF)

N-methylformamide (NMF), with the chemical formula CH₃NO, is a colorless, mobile liquid widely used in the chemical industry. It has a boiling point of 180-185 °C and a melting point of -3 to -4 °C, demonstrating stability under high temperatures. NMF is notable for its excellent solubility in water and various organic solvents, making it a valuable solvent in pharmaceuticals, electronics, and other industries. It also serves as an intermediate in synthesizing diverse chemical products. Handling NMF requires safety precautions due to its irritant nature.

Production Technology of NMF

Flowchart illustrating the preparation process of N-Methylformamide (NMF), starting with raw material preparation and ending with NMF ready for use, including steps like reaction process, purification, and quality control.
  1. Raw Material Preparation:

    • Methylamine and formic acid, or a formic acid derivative like methyl formate, are prepared as the primary reactants.
  2. Reaction Process:

    • The production of NMF is usually carried out through the reaction of methylamine with formic acid or methyl formate.
    • If methyl formate is used, it reacts with methylamine to form NMF and methanol. The reaction can be represented as: CH3O2CH3+NH2CH3CH3NO+CH3OH
    • Alternatively, direct reaction of formic acid with methylamine can also produce NMF. This process might involve dehydration steps.
  3. Purification:

    • The reaction mixture is subjected to purification processes to isolate NMF. This can involve methods like distillation to separate NMF from other by-products and unreacted materials.
  4. Quality Control:

    • The purity and quality of the NMF produced are tested. Common tests include checking the boiling point, melting point, and purity level (often requiring over 99% purity for industrial applications).
  5. Storage and Handling:

    • Once purified and tested, NMF is stored in appropriate containers under conditions that prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
  6. Safety and Environmental Compliance:

    • Throughout the production process, safety measures are crucial due to the potentially hazardous nature of the chemicals involved. The process must also comply with environmental regulations to manage any waste or emissions.

FAQs of NMF

NMF is primarily used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry for drug synthesis, in the agricultural sector for pesticides and herbicides, in the plastics and polymers industry, and in the production of semiconductors in the electronics industry.

NMF is available in various purity grades, typically ranging from technical grade (90-95% purity) to high-purity grades (up to 99.9%) for specialized applications.

The pricing of NMF varies based on purity, volume, and supplier location. Asian suppliers, particularly from China and India, tend to offer more competitive prices due to lower production costs.

Key factors include the purity of the product, the scale of the purchase, production costs, global demand and supply dynamics, and fluctuations in raw material costs.

We provide NMF in various packaging options to suit your needs, including 200L drums, IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) ton drums, liquid bags, and tank tanks. For sea shipping, we use 20-foot containers, but 40-foot containers are also available for larger shipments. All packaging is designed to ensure safety and compliance with regulations for hazardous materials.

NMF can be stored, but it is moisture-sensitive and should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, it can remain stable for extended periods.

The quality of NMF, particularly its purity, directly affects its performance in specific applications. High-purity NMF is essential for sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and electronics.

Key aspects include consistent product quality, compliance with regulatory standards, competitive pricing, transparent supply chain practices, and the ability to provide stable, long-term supply.
