DMI

Superior Universal Solvency – DMI is a high-performance polar solvent with powerful dissolving capacity for diverse organic and inorganic substances. It delivers outstanding solubilizing and dispersing effects for complex formula and synthesis systems.

Low-Toxic & Eco-Safe Profile – Compared with traditional hazardous polar solvents, DMI features negligible toxicity and low environmental residue. It provides a greener, safer alternative for modern sustainable industrial production.

Exceptional Comprehensive Stability – Boasting high boiling point and flash point, this solvent exhibits excellent thermal endurance. It remains chemically inert against strong acids, strong alkalis, water hydrolysis, light and oxygen erosion, ensuring stable performance in harsh reaction environments.

Broad Temperature Adaptability – Its wide liquid-phase temperature range (low melting point + high boiling point) enables stable operation under variable heating and cooling conditions, greatly expanding industrial processing flexibility.

Product Description

DMI (dimethylethylene urea) is a high-stability ketone-type polar aprotic solvent. Combining excellent solubility, extreme chemical inertness and superior safety, it has become an ideal substitute for carcinogenic HMPA and other toxic solvents in fine chemical research and manufacturing.
