T1 Dimethylformamide (Dmf) - Health and Safety Guide 43 A1 United Nations Environment Programme, A1 World Health Organization, A1 International Labour Organisation, K1 health K1 chemical K1 health hazard SN 92 4 151043 9 YR 1990 FD 1990 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/29585 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/29585 NO Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a colourless liquid with only a slight, unpleasant odour; smell is, therefore, not a useful warning signal. DMF is usually stable but, when it comes into contact with strong oxidizers, halogens, alkylaluminium, or halogenated hydrocarbons (especially in combination with metals), it may cause fires and explosions. DMF is completely miscible with water and most organic solvents. It has a relatively low vapour pressure. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 16, 2026
