AMP-95 (95% 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol in an aqueous solution) is a multifunctional additive and synthetic building block. 
The versatility, compatibility and preferred environmental profile of AMP-95 is valued across a wide range of applications and markets. 
AMP-95 provides high-efficiency pH control, enhances dispersion of pigments and latex, controls corrosion, and provides compatibility and stability to water-based formulations. 
AMP has exceptional thermal and UV stability and is highly resistant to yellowing. 
AMP is also available in several other concentrations, including AMP-REGULAR (anhydrous), AMP-90 (90% in aqueous solution] and AMP-75 (75% in aqueous solution), and purity levels, such as AMP-ULTRA™ PC grades for Beauty and Personal Care applications.

AMP-95 is a multifunctional neutralizer containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol and 5% added water. 
Key attributes include neutralization, dispersancy, pH buffering, non-yellowing, stability, formulation optimization, alkaline pH development and corrosion control, offering inumerous benefits throughout the life cycle of a latex paint compared to regular pH neutralizers, such as ammonia, MEA, NaOH and also branded amines. 
In addition, AMP is the only US EPA VOC-exempt amine . 
AMP-95 is recommended for a wide range of applications, such as Architectural and Industrial Coatings, Emulsion Polymerization, Inks, Adhesives and Solvent-borne alkyds.

Aminomethyl propanol is an organic compound with the formula H2NC(CH3)2CH2OH. 
Aminomethyl propanol is colorless liquid that is classified as an alkanolamine. 
Aminomethyl propanol is a useful buffer and a precursor to numerous other organic compounds.

Aminomethyl Propanol and Aminomethyl Propanediol are alkanolamines, which means that these compounds have both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an amino group (NH2) Aminomethyl Propanol and Aminomethyl Propanediol are either colorless liquids or crystalline solids, though they may sold as pastes. 
In cosmetics and personal care products, both Aminomethyl Propanol and Aminomethyl Propanediol are used in the formulation of creams and lotions, hair sprays, wave sets, hair dyes and colors, eye and facial products, and other hair and skin care products.

Aminomethyl Propanol is a colorless liquid alkanolamine used as a buffering agent. 
Aminomethyl propanol can be produced by hydrogenation of 2-aminoisobuteryic acid or its esters.

Uses
In latex emulsion paints, AMP-95 is a very efficient co-dispersant for pigments.
In addition, AMP-95 contributes pH stability, low odor, and anticorrosive properties; furthermore, it promotes acceptance of colorants. 
AMP-95 is an effective emulsifier for polyethylene and wax by either the normal emulsification techniques or those requiring pressure.
AMP-95 is a very efficient amine for neutralizing the carboxylic acid moieties in acid-functional resins to make them suitable for use in water-borne coatings and other aqueous applications. 
Such coatings formulations exhibit higher gloss and greater water resistance than do formulations based on other neutralizing amines.
Corrosion in boiler-water systems can be controlled successfully by use of AMP-95 as the amine additive to remove CO2.
AMP-95 is a high performance alkanolamine, proven as a multifunctional additive for metalworking fluids.
AMP-95 is a highly efficient alkalinity enhancer which also provides corrosion inhibition properties. 
The use of AMP-95 will often improve the blostability of these fluids, which can result in longer fluid life. 
AMP-95 is the least aggressive amine towards the cobalt binder in carbide tooling. 
As an added feature, AMP-95 enhances the performance of triazine biocides, while reducing levels of airborne formaldehyde. 
AMP-95 does not contribute to ammonia release as do other amines.
AMP-95 is an important additive for the personal care industry. 
AMP-95 is compatible with virtually all fixative resins. 
Its high base strength and low molecular weight allow formulators to use significantly less AMP-95 for resin neutralization. 
AMP-95 possesses liquid phase corrosion inhibition properties, especially useful for the protection of aerosol cans containing aqueous based formulations. 
AMP-95 can also be used to neutralize Carbomer resins, in emulsification together with stearic acid, and to make amides and other derivatives used as cosmetic ingredients (CTFA/INCI designation: Aminomethyl propanol).
AMP-95 also functions in dilute aqueous solutions containing small amounts of formaldehyde to scavenge that which otherwise might be released to the atmosphere.
Technical bulletins giving detailed suggestions on the uses of AMP-95 are available.

Handling and Storage
AMP-95 is corrosive to copper, brass, and aluminum.
Contact with these metals should be avoided.
Ordinary iron and steel generally are unaffected by this product and are the recommended materials of construction.
AMP-95 is a combustible liquid with a relatively high flash point and a low vapor pressure at ordinary temperatures. 
These properties cause no problems with respect to storage and handling. Do not store near heat or flame.
AMP-95 should not be exposed unnecessarily to the atmosphere, since it can pick up moisture and carbon dioxide due to its amine functionality. 
Evidence of this may be detected by a weight gain, a lower alkalinity equivalency than when first received, or the formation of cloudy solutions when dissolved in alcohol.
