It is also used as a stripper in defluxing, degreasing, and cleaning agents. Electrodes of lithium-ion batteries are primarily produced by mixing active Li-ion, a conductive material, along with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone.  Other applications of NMP in the electronics sector include removal of excess burr at the time of the production of various electronic parts. Photoresists are used in the production of printing plates, printed circuit boards, flat panel liquid crystal displays, magnetic recording heads, micro electromechanical systems (MEMS), and integrated circuit (IC) devices, including microprocessors and computer memory chips.  These factors are expected to boost the growth of the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone market over the period of forecast.

Restrictions on Usage of NMP to Hamper Global Market



The usage of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is associated with health problems such as headache, stomach pain, vomiting, and nausea. Thus, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is on the Special Health Hazard Substance List, and is banned in Europe for its use in new processes.  N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone also causes reproductive hazards. This is likely to hamper its usage in the near future. Currently, there are stringent regulations in Europe and North America on its usage; however, no such regulations have been implemented in Asia Pacific.
