Description

Amino-2-Propanol is a versatile amino alcohol with a primary amine and a secondary hydroxyl group, offering bifunctional reactivity. This compound is a valuable intermediate and additive, prized for its ability to act as a pH adjuster, corrosion inhibitor, and building block for more complex molecules. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking to synthesize active ingredients or modify material properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a buffering agent in formulations.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: An effective component in metalworking fluids and industrial cooling water systems to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Gas Treating Agent: Employed in the purification of natural gas and refinery streams to remove acidic contaminants like CO₂ and H₂S.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Serves as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in the production of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and coatings.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a pH adjuster and stabilizer in hair dyes, skin creams, and other cosmetic products.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: A key precursor in the manufacture of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Textile & Leather Auxiliary: Acts as a softening agent, dye fixative, and processing aid in textile and leather treatment.

Quality Control

Our Amino-2-Propanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting results for all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
