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. It 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.
