Aminomethyl propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (CAS 124-68-5). Industry references record its use as a neutralizer/pH regulator and emulsifying agent in cosmetic creams and lotions, mineral-oil and wax emulsions, as an intermediate for surface-active agents, and as an absorbent for acidic gases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AMP-95 used for?
AMP-95 (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, CAS 124-68-5) is used as a neutralizing amine and pH regulator, an emulsifying agent for creams, lotions, and wax emulsions, an intermediate for surface-active agents, and an absorbent for acidic gases such as CO2 and H2S.
What is AMP-95 used for in paint?
In coatings, AMP-95 functions as a neutralizing amine and pH adjuster, helping stabilize waterborne paint and emulsion systems and supporting pigment dispersion. It is dosed at low levels as part of the formulation's pH-control package.
What is the difference between AMP-90 and AMP-95?
The number reflects the concentration of active 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol: AMP-95 is roughly 95% active amine with about 5% water, while AMP-90 designations indicate a lower active content. Confirm the exact assay on the CoA for the grade you order.
What is the CAS number and chemical name for AMP-95?
AMP-95 is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (aminomethyl propanol), CAS 124-68-5, formula C4H11NO. It falls under HS code 2922.19 (amino-alcohols).
How is AMP-95 shipped and what is the DOT classification?
AMP-95 is assigned UN 1993 (flammable/combustible liquid, n.o.s. context for 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol shipments); the SDS provides the governing transport classification and packing details. We supply it in bulk drums and totes for industrial buyers; request a quote with your volume and a current SDS.
