N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) MF: C₅H₉NO, MW: 99.13 Belongs to the heterocyclic amide class of compounds. Chemically stable, non-corrosive to carbon steel and aluminum, slightly corrosive to copper. Characterized by low viscosity, high polarity, low volatility, strong hygroscopicity, and miscibility with water and most organic solvents, it is widely used as a “universal solvent.”

As a polymer solvent, it is used in the production of polyimide films, polyphenylene sulfide resins, polyurethane elastomers, etc. It also serves as a solvent for coatings and adhesives, enhancing product adhesion and leveling properties.
Used in lithium battery electrode preparation to dissolve binders (e.g., PVDF) in electrode materials; and also for cleaning semiconductor wafers and removing photoresists.
As an extractant for separating aromatics (e.g., benzene, toluene) from non-aromatics to improve aromatic purity; also used for removing sulfides from petroleum.
As a reaction medium or solvent for synthesizing certain pharmaceutical intermediates and pesticide active ingredients, enhancing reaction efficiency and product purity.
