Product Description
Amino-2-propanol CAS 78-96-6 1-Amino-2-propanol Or Isopropanolamine
Product Introduction

Amino-2-propanol (CAS 78-96-6), also known as 1-Amino-2-propanol or Isopropanolamine, is a versatile organic compound with both amine and alcohol functional groups. This bifunctional nature makes it a valuable intermediate in various industrial and chemical processes. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild ammonia-like odor, widely recognized for its surfactant properties, corrosion inhibition, and role in medical and cosmetic formulations.

Manufacturing Process

Amino-2-propanol is typically produced via the amination of propylene oxide with ammonia under controlled conditions:

  1. Reaction: Propylene oxide reacts with aqueous ammonia in a high-pressure reactor.
  2. Separation: The product mixture is separated via distillation to isolate Amino-2-propanol from by-products like di- and tri-isopropanolamines.
  3. Purification: Further distillation and filtration ensure high-purity final product.
  4. Quality Control: Rigorous testing for purity, color, moisture, and other specifications.
