Application
2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP, CAS 124-68-5) is a versatile primary amine alcohol widely used as a pH stabilizer, buffering agent, and emulsifier. Its low odor, high chemical stability, and excellent CO₂ absorption capacity make it ideal for water-based coatings, inks, adhesives, and metalworking fluids, where it prevents pH drift and improves corrosion resistance. In personal care products, AMP neutralizes fatty acids in creams, lotions, and hair dyes, ensuring optimal viscosity and skin feel. It also serves as a biocide synergist, a curing agent for epoxy resins, and an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. The "AMP-95" grade is a standard neutralizer in latex paints. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of high-purity 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
