DIMETHYL ACETAMIDECAS # 127-19-5
DESCRIPTION
Dimethyl acetamide (DMAC) is a member of the class of ace amides that is ace amide in which
the hydrogen’s attached to the N atom have been replaced by two methyl groups
respectively. It appears as a clear colorless liquid with a faint odor similar
to ammonia.

APPLICATION
· Dimethyl
ace amide (DMAC) is a dipolar aprotic solvent used for many organic reactions
and industrial applications. It is a versatile solvent due to its high boiling
point and good thermal and chemical stability.
· Acrylic
fibers- DMAC is applied as solvent in wet spinning processes for the production
of acrylic fibers.
· Eastham
fibers- In the production of polyurethane-based elasthane fibers, DMAC is the
solvent of choice given its evaporation speed, whether it is used in wet or dry
spinning processes.
· Pharmaceuticals-
DMAC can be used both as a solvent and as a reagent in the production of various
pharmaceuticals. In the production of novel x-ray contrast media, DMAC is used
as a solvent. Cephalosporin’s, which are among one of the leading classes of
antibiotics, are partly produced from derivatives of 7-ADCA
(7-aminodeacetoxy-cephalosporanic acid). DMAC is used in the manufacturing
process.
· Various
polymers- DMAC is a good solvent for polyimide resins, both in coating and film
production. It is also the ideal solvent for the production of dialyzer
membranes, based on polysulfide’s. A mixture of DMAC and lithium chloride is a
useful solvent for cellulose fibers in several applications.
