Description

2-Aminopropan-1-Ol CAS NO 78-91-1 is a versatile amino alcohol, also known as isopropanolamine, valued for its bifunctional nature as both a primary amine and a primary alcohol. This dual reactivity makes it a crucial intermediate and building block in the synthesis of a wide range of high-value chemical products. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, personal care, and surfactant industries seeking a reliable and high-purity raw material.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediates: A key precursor in the synthesis of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Surfactants & Detergents: Used in the production of amphoteric and nonionic surfactants for industrial and household cleaning formulations.
• Personal Care Products: Employed in the manufacture of emulsifiers and conditioning agents for cosmetics and hair care products.
• Gas Treating: Acts as an absorbent in gas scrubbing processes for the removal of acidic components like CO2 and H2S.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: A component in formulations designed to protect metal surfaces in industrial cooling and process water systems.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliaries: Utilized in softening agents, dyeing assistants, and finishing chemicals.
