APPLICATIONS

Hexamethylphosphoric Triamide is a (high boiling point) strong aprotic solvent which does not contain an O-H bond but contains a bond that has a large bond dipole. Most dipolar aprotic solvents contain multiple bond between carbon and either oxygen or nitrogen such as acetone [(CH3)2C=O]. It hydrolyzes slowly in acids. It is used as a processing solvent for polymers and as a selective solvent for gases. It is used as a polymerisation catalyst and as a thermal and UV stabilizer for polystyrenes  and pvc.
