Description
2-Amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (CAS 115-70-8) is an alkanolamine supplied under trade names including AEPD, AEDP, and VOX 1000. It carries no E-code designation and is registered under EC number 204-101-2 with HS code 29221985. The compound belongs to the amines category with the molecular formula C5H13NO2.
In waterborne coatings and adhesives, AEPD functions as a pH buffer and neutralising agent for acid-functional resins, improving film stability and open time. In personal care formulations, it acts as an emulsifier and dispersant, helping to stabilise emulsions across a range of pH conditions. Printing ink manufacturers use it as a carrier solvent to improve pigment wetting and flow.
This product is available in liquid form and is subject to REACH registration requirements for supply within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm applicable SDS documentation and packaging formats, typically drums or IBCs, with the supplier prior to order.
