Description
2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (CAS 124-68-5) is an alkanolamine also known as AMP, aminoisobutanol, and 2-aminoisobutanol. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29221990. The molecular formula is C4H11NO.
In waterborne coatings and adhesives, AMP neutralises acidic resin dispersions to stabilise emulsions and adjust application viscosity without discolouring the film. In personal care formulations, it buffers shampoos and conditioners to a target pH while contributing mild antimicrobial activity that supports preservation systems.
AMP is supplied as a low-melting solid in technical and cosmetic grades, with pharmaceutical-grade material available to meet relevant purity specifications. It is registered under REACH and handled in accordance with EU GHS classification requirements. Standard packaging includes drums and IBCs; documentation including SDS and CoA is available on request.
