1,3-Dimethylurea (DMU) is a urea derivative and used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is a colorless crystalline powder with little toxicity.
Uses
1,3-Dimethylurea is used for synthesis of caffeine, theophylline, pharmaceuticals, textile aids, herbicides and others.http://www.inchem.org/documents/sids/sids/96311.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20150924052007/http://www.inchem.org/documents/sids/sids/96311.pdf 2015-09-24 SIDS Initial Assessment Report
In the textile processing industry, 1,3-dimethylurea is used as intermediate for the production of formaldehyde-free easy-care finishing agents for textiles.
The estimated world production of DMU is estimated to be less than 25,000 tons.
