DMF Solvent (Dimethylformamide) for Polymeric Coatings and Inks
CAS 68-12-2 Dimethylformamide (DMF) is an effective solvent for vinyl-based polymers and has been used for the manufacture of films, fibers, and coatings. It provides excellent solvency to a wide range of vinyl polymers, including:
- Vinylidene cyanide polymers
- Vinylisothicyancate polymers
- Polyvinyl formal and polyvinyl butyral copolymers
- Polyvinylchlorides
- Polyvinyl acetates
- Vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene copolymer
- N-vinyloxyalkyl acylamidoguanamines
N,N-Dimethylformamide DMF solvent is also commonly used as a cosolvent or solvency booster for high molecular–weight polyvinyl chlorides and vinyl chloride-acetate copolymers.


DMF Solvent - Key Applications in Coatings & Inks
Polyurethane Coatings: N,N-Dimethylformamide is used for synthetic leather and other PU-based finishes.
Vinyl Polymers: Dissolves PVC, vinyl acetate copolymers, and acrylics for films, fibers (like acrylics), and protective coatings.
Printing Inks: DMF solvent acts as a solvent/carrier, ensuring good ink flow and adhesion.
Epoxy Resins: Helps dissolve curing agents like dicyandiamide, acting as a catalyst at higher temperatures.
Paint Stripper/Cleaner: Effective for removing varnishes and lacquers.
DMF solvent Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
Keep away from heat sources, open flames, and oxidizing agents.
Use approved containers to prevent contamination.
