In the production of modern high-performance coatings and inks, NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone , cas : 872-50-4 ) plays an irreplaceable role as an efficient solvent. With its excellent solvency, good chemical stability, and moderate evaporation rate, NMP is widely used in demanding coating and ink systems. This article provides a detailed overview of the main applications, benefits, and future trends of NMP in this industry. 1. Basic Characteristics of NMP NMP is a highly polar, high-boiling (202°C), low-volatility organic solvent with excellent solvency. It can dissolve a wide range of natural and synthetic polymers such as polyurethane, epoxy resin, and acrylic resin. Its transparency and low odor also make it suitable for indoor applications. 2. Applications in Coatings In the coatings industry, NMP is primarily used as a solvent for base materials like polyurethane and epoxy resins. It is particularly suitable for industrial anti-corrosion coatings, automotive coatings, c...
