Dimethylamine (DMA) is an anhydrous, colorless gas with a fishy odor at low concentrations and ammonia odor at high concentrations. It is transported as a liquid under vapor pressure. Being corrosive, the gas readily dissolves in water to form flammable corrosive solutions. Gaseous state is heavier than air. It ignites easily and produces toxic nitrogen oxides when burned. Dimethylamine is toxic by inhalation. Whether inhaled at high or low concentrations, it causes adverse health effects in humans such as organ damage. It is also an irritant and causes severe burns to both the skin and eyes.

Containers may rupture violently with prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat. Dimethylamine is used to make other chemical compounds and as a solvent.
Briefly, dimethylamine is an easily condensable gaseous compound with a strong ammonia odor, obtained by the catalytic reaction of methanol with ammonia or methylamine, and mainly used in organic synthesis (such as vulcanization accelerators for rubber).
Dimethylamine is abundant in human urine. As a pure substance, it is used as a hair removal agent in tanning, dyes, rubber accelerators, soaps and cleaning agents. It is also used as a fungicide in agriculture.
Dimethylamine is a weak base and is used as a precursor to many other important compounds. It is highly flammable and may explode when heated under pressure. It is also irritating and toxic.
In industry, dimethylamine is converted to dimethylformamide and the surfactant lauryl dimethylamine oxide. It is used as a raw material in the manufacture of many drugs and as a nerve agent in chemical weapons.
It is generally used as a solvent in water at concentrations of about 40 percent. It is also used to make dimethylamine (DMA), rubber, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals.
Dimethylamine belongs to the class of organic compounds. They contain a dialkylamine group characterized by two alkyl groups attached to the amino nitrogen. Dimethylamine is a very strong basic compound.
Dimethylamine is measured in advanced laboratories using gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The concentration of dimethylamine in the air is measured in parts per million (ppm).
Our organization also provides dimethylamine (DMA) analysis services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
