    Product Overview

    What is N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone?

    N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (C₅H₉NO), commonly abbreviated NMP, is a colourless to pale-yellow, high-boiling polar aprotic solvent with a five-membered lactam ring. It is produced by reacting gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) with methylamine and is fully miscible with water and most organic solvents.

    NMP combines high solvency, chemical and thermal stability, and low volatility. It is the dominant solvent for dissolving PVDF binder in lithium-ion battery cathode slurries, and is used in electronics for photoresist stripping and wafer cleaning.

    In the petrochemical industry, NMP is used to extract butadiene and aromatics and to treat lube oils and natural gas. It is also used in high-performance coatings, wire enamels, engineering plastics, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies NMP across the UAE and wider GCC.

    • Primary solvent for PVDF binder in Li-ion battery electrodes
    • Photoresist stripping and electronics cleaning
    • Butadiene and aromatics extraction in petrochemicals
    • Lube oil refining and gas treatment
    • Solvent for polyimide, PAI and PES polymers
    • Wire enamels and high-performance coatings
    • Agrochemical and pharmaceutical formulation
    • Supplied in drums, IBCs and ISO tanks

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions — N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone UAE

    N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is used as a solvent for PVDF binder in lithium-ion battery electrodes; in electronics for photoresist stripping; for butadiene and aromatics extraction; in coatings and wire enamels; in engineering plastics; and in agrochemical and pharmaceutical formulation.

    The CAS number for N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (C₅H₉NO) is 872-50-4. It is not regulated as dangerous goods for transport but is classified as a reproductive toxicant under GHS.

    NMP is one of the few solvents that fully dissolves PVDF binder, producing stable cathode slurries that coat evenly onto aluminium foil. Its high boiling point allows controlled drying, and it is recovered and recycled in most battery plants.

    Yes. In the EU, NMP is restricted under REACH Annex XVII, which sets workplace exposure limits for use at 0.3% or more. Customers exporting products to the EU should check compliance requirements.
