What are the hazards of Dimethylformamide DMF solvent? - CAS 68-12-2

Jan 13, 2026 Leave a message

N,N-Dimethylformamide DMF (CAS 68-12-2) is a colorless to yellow transparent liquid with high boiling point with a faint, specific amine-like odor. It is miscible with water. DMF is hydrophilic and polar aprotic solvent.

DMF solvent is primarily used in the chemical industry to dissolve polymers, plastics, and resins or to carry out chemical reactions in a homogeneous phase. Due to its excellent solubility, dimethylformamide is often used in the manufacture of artificial leather, acrylic fibers, polyurethanes, and in the pharmaceutical industry.

What are the hazards of Dimethylformamide DMF solvent?

DMF Dimethyl Formamide poses health and environmental hazards if not handled properly:

 

Health hazards: DMF solvent can enter the body via skin absorption, inhalation, or ingestion. Short-term exposure causes eye/skin irritation, headache, and nausea; long-term exposure may damage the liver and kidneys.

 

Environmental hazards: It is toxic to aquatic organisms and can cause long-term harm to water ecosystems if directly discharged.

 

Safety Measures of DMF solvent

  1. Wear nitrile/butyl rubber gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Use a respirator in poorly ventilated areas.
  2. Operate in well-ventilated areas. Avoid skin/eye contact; no eating or smoking in the work area.
  3. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from heat, open flames, and incompatible substances (strong acids, oxidizers, etc.).
