Formamide is supplied by SUNWAY in 99% and 98% minimum-purity grades (CAS 75-12-7). Buyers select the grade by process tolerance, since the grades differ mainly in limits for color, moisture, and impurities. This page summarizes the properties, uses, and ordering information.
Formamide is a clear, colorless liquid with a weak ammonia-like odor. It is miscible with water and alcohols, slightly soluble in benzene and ether, and hygroscopic; keep containers closed when not in use.
The melting point is 2.55 °C, the boiling point is 210-212 °C, and partial decomposition begins at 180 °C. The flash point is 154 °C (closed cup), and the specific gravity is 1.1334 at 20 °C. Decomposition produces ammonia and hydrogen cyanide, so store Formamide in ventilated areas away from oxidants, acids, and bases.
The 99% grade corresponds to the First Class specification and the 98% grade to the Qualified Product specification below.

Acidity (based on formic acid) % ≤ (m/m) | 0.005 | 0.005 | 0.005 |
Ammonium Formate % ≤ (m/m) | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.30 |
Iron % ≤ PPm | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.30 |
Specific Gravity (20℃) | 1.130-1.134 | 1.129-1.134 | 1.127-1.134 |
Formamide dissolves many organic compounds and serves as a processing solvent for pharmaceuticals, dyes, and resins. Its high boiling point suits elevated-temperature reactions.
Formamide is a feedstock for nitrogen-containing intermediates in pharmaceutical and agrochemical production, where consistent purity affects downstream yield.
In laboratories, Formamide is used as a cryoprotectant for cells and tissues and as a denaturing solvent in nucleic acid applications. Research buyers usually request the 99% grade for tighter impurity limits.
Each 100 kg drum carries the label below for batch traceability.

Store Formamide sealed, dry, and ventilated, away from oxidants, acids, and bases. Wear protective gloves and eye protection, and avoid contact with aluminium, brass, copper, iron, and lead.
Each batch is sampled before release and receives a Certificate of Analysis with the specification values. Retained samples are kept for two years; the current SDS is provided with every order.
Shipments include the COA, SDS, packing list, commercial invoice, and bill of lading to support customs clearance.
They differ in the minimum Formamide content (99.0% vs 98.0% m/m) and in limits for color, moisture, methanol, and other impurities, as shown in the table.
It depends on the grade, order quantity, packaging, and destination port; contact SUNWAY with these details for a current price.
