N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) Market to Expand with Significant CAGR | 2019
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone
(NMP), a chemical compound is colorless to slightly yellow liquid
that is miscible in water and some of the solvents that include
chloroform, ethyl acetate, and benzene among others. It is also known
as N-methylpyrrolidone, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and
N-methylpyrrolidinone under the brand name Pharmasolve.
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) belongs to the group of dipolar aprotic
solvents that include dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide and
dimethyl sulfoxide. It is used to pull through pure hydrocarbon
whilst processing petrochemicals and in the desulphurization of
gases. Owing to the excellent solvency properties of
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, it is used to dissolve a wide range of
chemicals in the areas of polymers. It is used as a solvent for
surface treatment of resins, textiles and metal coated plastics.
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone is used for the preparation of polyphenylene
sulphide commercially. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is used in the
pharmaceutical industry in the formulation of drugs in both the
transdermal delivery route as well as oral route.

Report Overview @
NMP
is hygroscopic but it is stable under normal conditions. It acts with
sulphuric acid, nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide among others. The
decomposition products produce nitrogen oxide fumes and carbon
monoxide. NMP has to be stored in clean alloy drums or phenolic lined
mild steel drums. Some companies and manufacturers recommend using
butyl gloves while handling or working with NMP.
The
derivatives and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone by itself are used as
intermediates for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals,
plasticizers and specialty inks among others. It is employed as a
nylon precursor. It has application in the rubber industry for SBR
latex production and in the electronic industry for manufacturing
printed circuit boards. NMP as a cosolvent can enhance the gloss of
floor polish. NMP is a replacement for 1,1,1-tricholoroethane (111T)
for a wide range of applications such as cleaning of metal parts. It
is readily biodegradable, recyclable by distillation and essentially
nontoxic to aquatic life. Owing to its less toxicity and exceptional
performance of NMP, is used as a substitute of methylene chloride in
graffiti removers, paint strippers and other products that are used
for industrial and consumer cleanup.
Some
of the key drivers of N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone are growing demand for
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone from the petrochemical industry as it used as
solvent for extraction. In addition, increasing demand from the
pharmaceutical industry is also expected to fuel the demand for
N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone in the market.
NMP
may be exposed to humans by inhalation or by skin contact. The amount
of risk to the human body by NMP depends on the amount of NMP that
has entered the body which generally depends on the concentration of
NMP inhaled by the person and for how long the person is exposed to
NMP. The noticeable effects on humans include: breathing excessive
amount of NMP causes nausea, headache, clumsiness and dizziness. In
addition, when a person after exposure to NMP consumes alcohol, may
show increase in the effects and makes them last longer as the
solvent and alcohol mixes together. Frequent exposure to MNP for many
months or years may have permanent affect on the nervous system. NMP
is irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. It is readily absorbed
into the body through skin and may cause dermatitis.
