Overview

DMF or Dimethyl formamide (CAS# 68-12-2) is an intermediate organic compound that is widely used as an industrial solvent in a broad array of applications. The amine-based compound offers high solvency and excellent miscibility with water and organic industrial solvents.

N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is a polar aprotic solvent that is a water-white liquid, with a faint fishy odor. The aliphatic organic compound is utilized as an intermediate, reagent, solvent, and absorbance material in a variety of industrial and production processes.

Belle Chemical DMF is produced in Belle, West Virginia, at the Dupont product facility. At the start of 2020, Corner Stone Chemical created Belle Chemical Company after the acquisition of the Chemours/Dupont dedicated production facility for methylamines and amides. All specifications, equipment, and production methods have been maintained to ensure an uninterrupted supply of domestically sourced and produced DMF.
