AMP-95 (2-Amino-2-Methyl-1-Propanol)

A guide to AMP-95 — the multifunctional amino alcohol (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) used as a neutralizer and pH adjuster — from a US-based distributor.

Quick Answer

AMP-95 is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol containing about 5% water — a low-odor, multifunctional amino alcohol used as a neutralizer and pH adjuster in waterborne coatings, paints, and personal care products, where it also aids pigment dispersion and corrosion inhibition. Stratus Chemical supplies it in drums and totes, with COA and SDS provided.

What is AMP-95?

AMP-95 is a hindered amino alcohol — 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol supplied at about 95% with roughly 5% water. It is prized as a multifunctional additive: a single ingredient that can neutralize, buffer pH, help disperse pigments, and contribute to corrosion inhibition. It is also low in odor and contributes little to a formulation's VOCs.

What is AMP-95 used for?

Why formulators choose AMP-95

Because it is multifunctional, AMP-95 can replace several single-purpose additives — neutralizing, buffering, dispersing, and inhibiting corrosion — often at low use levels. Its low odor and low VOC contribution make it a popular choice in modern waterborne and personal-care systems.

Grade & packaging

Supplied as AMP-95 (95% active) in drums and totes. COA and SDS are provided with every shipment.
