DMF is the abbreviation of dimethyl fumarate or dimethylformamide, two widely restricted hazardous substances.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), molecular formula C6H8O4, CAS No. 624-49-7, is a white crystalline or crystalline powder at room temperature.
N,N-dimethylformamide, also abbreviated DMF, CAS 68-12-2, is a colourless liquid with a faint ammonia odour. It is mainly used as an industrial solvent, in the pharmaceutical industry for producing vitamins and hormones, and in the manufacture of insecticides.
Dimethyl fumarate was developed in the United States in the 1980s as a new type of mould inhibitor. It appears as white flaky crystals with a slightly pungent taste, soluble in alcohols, ethers and chloroform and slightly soluble in water. It is mostly enclosed in small sachets fixed inside furniture or placed in shoe boxes to keep products dry and moisture-proof and prevent mould.
