N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone, an Integral Part of the Electronics and Automotive Sectors

 

N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone

N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is a chemical compound with an excellent solvency and high boiling point for a wide range of organic and inorganic chemical compounds. Moreover, N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone has high chemical and thermal stability, making it ideal for use in engineering polymers and coating resins application. N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is also used as paint and cleaning agent (stripping solvent) due to its low surface tension. Furthermore, it can be used in the synthesis and formulation of various paints and coatings, polymers, and electronic products.

Wire wrappers, agrochemicals, and petrochemical are some of the other applications of N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone. The demand for N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is increasing rapidly due to the implementation of stringent regulations on fossil fuel-based vehicles. Moreover, the demand for N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is expected to increase with the increasing sales of electric vehicles. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), sales of electric cars topped 2.1 million globally in 2019, surpassing 2018, to boost the stock to 7.2 million electric cars.

The United States-based automaker, Ford Motor plans to invest US$ 11 billion in electric vehicles by 2022 and have 40 hybrid and fully electric vehicles in its model lineup. Electrodes of li-ion batteries are mainly produced by mixing a conductive material, active lithium-ion, along with N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone and polyvinylidene fluoride. Moreover, in the electronics sector, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is used as a solvent in the manufacturing of polyurethane coatings, epoxy, polyimide/polyamide wire enamels, and flexible polyimide copper clad board.

Photoresists are used in the production of micro electromechanical systems, magnetic recording heads, flat panel liquid crystal displays, printed circuit boards, printing plates, and integrated circuit devices, such as computer memory chips and microprocessors. Other applications of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, in the electronics sector, include removing excess rumble at the time of production of various electronic parts. However, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is banned in Europe, the European Commission has added N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone to REACH Annex XVII, the restricted substances list.

Bourbon Whiskey Is the Most Popular Whiskey in America and In Many Other Countries around the World

Image
  Whiskey or single malt whiskey is simply a form of distilled beverage made by distilling alcohol from grain mash or even by blending both. Different grains are utilized for different types, such as corn, barley, rye, and wheat. In Scotland, they call their whiskey black tea, a lighter caramel scotch, Irish cream, and liqueur. Whichever form is utilized, the result is usually a flavorful and smooth drink that has a distinct taste, and many people prefer a whiskey with a lower alcohol content. For example, single malt whiskey is the least expensive. The highest price however is the least distilled; that is Bourbon whiskey. Bourbon whiskey is the most popular whiskey in America and in many other countries around the world. Its price range is very wide, starting from as low as about US$ 12 a bottle to over a hundred dollars. So the price definitely varies. Whichever class you belong to, there is always a whiskey that will suit your preference. Single malt scotch whiskey is made ...

Hard Surface Flooring Market Is Expected To Witness Robust Growth As Mohawk Industries Introduces Newly Imagined 30,000-Square Foot Floor Space At The International Surface Event (TISE)

Image
  There are many reasons why people choose hard surface floors over other types of flooring. Hard surfaces offer a level of durability and are very aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, choosing this type of flooring can be confusing and costly. There are four main hard surface varieties namely vinyl plank, laminate, solid hardwood, and engineered wood. Each has their own style strengths and provide different advantages. Increasing population coupled with rapid urbanization is expected to drive growth of the global hard surface flooring market . According to the United Nations (UN), by 2050, around 68% of the global population is expected to live in urban areas, increasing from 55% in 2018. According to the same source, in 2018, around 4.2 billion people were living in urban areas, increasing from 751 million in 1950. Furthermore, according to the World Bank, in 2019, the global population reached 7.674 billion, increasing from 6.84 billion in 2009. As a result of this, building...
