Uses/Applications

Paints and Coatings
n-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone serves as a powerful solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, and inks. It is valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of resins, pigments, and additives, facilitating the production of high-quality coatings with excellent adhesion, durability, and resistance properties.

Electronics Manufacturing
NMP is used in the electronics industry for cleaning and degreasing electronic components, such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor devices. It effectively removes solder flux residues, solder mask, and other contaminants without damaging sensitive electronic components.

Agrochemicals and Pesticides
n-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is utilized as a solvent and carrier in the formulation of agrochemicals, including pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. It helps dissolve active ingredients and enhance their effectiveness in agricultural applications, such as crop protection and pest control.

Pharmaceuticals and Pharmaceuticals Processing
NMP is used in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes for drug synthesis, purification, and formulation. It serves as a solvent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), reaction medium for chemical transformations, and solubilizing agent in drug formulations such as creams, gels, and transdermal patches.

Adhesives and Sealants
NMP is employed in the formulation of adhesives, sealants, and caulks as a solvent and viscosity modifier. It helps dissolve adhesive resins, improve wetting and bonding properties, and adjust the viscosity of formulations for various application requirements.

Polymer Processing
n-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is extensively used as a solvent for polymer processing, particularly in the production of polymeric fibers, films, and coatings. It is employed in processes such as polymer dissolution, spinning of fibers (e.g., polyacrylonitrile fibers for carbon fiber production), and casting of films and membranes.
