NMP, known for its low toxicity and solvent power, is rapidly becoming the product of choice for paint strippers, agricultural chemicals, and process solvent applications.
As a cosolvent, NMP can improve the gloss of floor polishes.
Because of its high solvency and low volatility, NMP is used in automotive and industrial cleaners with solvents like hydrocarbons, terpenes, propylene carbonate and P-Series glycol ethers.
It also has application in the electronic industry as a photoresist stripper.
NMP can also be a replacement for 1,1,1-tricholoroethane (111T) in demanding applications like the cleaning of metal parts.
It is recyclable by distillation, readily biodegradable and essentially non-toxic to aquatic life.
It is not on the Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) list of the U.S. 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments.
Because of its exceptional performance and relatively low toxicity, NMP is the leading substitute for methylene chloride in paint strippers, graffiti removers, and other products for consumer and industrial cleanup.
NMP can be used safely and effectively in all its current applications when used with appropriate personal protective equipment. |
