General description

1-Butylpyrrolidin-2-one is a safer alternative to N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMA), Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), which face increasing regulatory pressure. As opposed to NMP, DMF and DMA, 1-Butylpyrrolidin-2-one is not classified as developmentally reprotoxic.

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Benefits:
  • Excellent solvency power and water miscibility
  • High boiling point
  • High chemical and thermal stability
  • Not classified as a developmental[1]or geno-toxin
  • inherently bio-degradable
  • Lower volatility compared to NMP
  • Reliable alternative for REACH-restricted DMA, DMF, NMP
