What industries use dimethylformamide DMF CAS 68-12-2?

What Is dimethylformamide DMF CAS 68-12-2?

CAS 68-12-2 Dimethylformamide also known as N,N-Dimethyl formamide, is the organic compound with the formula (CH3)2NC(O)H. Commonly abbreviated DMF, this colourless liquid is miscible with water and majority of organic liquids. DMF chemical is a common solvent for chemical reactions. Pure dimethylformamide is odorless whereas technical grade or degraded dimethyl formamide often has a fishy smell due to impurity of dimethylamine. Its name is derived from the fact that it is a derivative of formamide, the amide of formic acid.
