Homonym: DMF (Dimethylformamide)
DMF, or dimethylformamide, is a colorless, odorless liquid commonly used as a solvent in various chemical reactions and processes. It is known for its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar compounds, making it valuable in industries such as pharmaceuticals, plastics, and textiles.
In addition to its solvent properties, DMF is also used in the production of polyacrylonitrile fibers and as a reagent in organic synthesis. However, it is important to handle DMF with care, as it can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
