Sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate

Sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate, also known as Sodium AMPS, is a reactive monomer used as a building block in the synthesis of specialty polymers and copolymers.

Where is Sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate used?

• Personal care: polymerized into thickening and stabilizing agents for creams, lotions and sunscreens where conventional thickeners underperform at extreme pH or electrolyte levels
• Oil and gas: polymers for drilling fluids and recovery formulations that maintain viscosity under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions
• Water treatment: scale inhibitors and dispersants in cooling towers and industrial water systems
• Textile and paper processing: surface modification coatings that improve wet strength, dye uptake and fiber adhesion
• It helps modify surfaces and stabilize emulsions.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm inhibitor levels and storage conditions, as the monomer requires stabilization against premature polymerization.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, typically 50% active content
• Solid forms available
• High-purity grades for personal care and cosmetic formulation
