2-Dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol

2-Dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol (CAS 7005-47-2), commonly abbreviated as DMAMP, is an amino alcohol used as a pH regulator, neutralizing agent, and corrosion inhibitor.

Where is 2-Dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol used?

• Coatings and adhesives: neutralizes acidic latex emulsions and waterborne resins
• Personal care: pH adjustment in creams, lotions, and hair care products
• Water treatment: corrosion inhibition in cooling water and boiler systems
• Printing inks and paper coatings: neutralizer for acrylic binders, controlling rheology and adhesion
• Its amine and hydroxyl functionality adjusts alkalinity in aqueous systems while supporting emulsion stability.

Good to know: Organic neutralizers are often chosen over inorganic bases for better compatibility.

Commercial specifications

• Typically at concentrations of 95% and above
• Cosmetic-grade material meeting relevant purity specifications for personal care
