NAATBS (Sodium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid)
CAS No.: 5165-97-9
Product Description:
NaATBS is a chemical compound that is generally used by polymer manufacturers where it acts as a commoner along with other acrylic monomers like acrylamide and acrylic acid to produce polymers. Depending on the factors like co-monomer, concentrations, degree of polymerization, etc numerous polymers of NaATBS can be made
Application:
- Adhesives: The use of NAATBS in adhesives improves its strength in pressure-sensitive formulations and makes wood glue to improve adhesive strength and thermal and mechanical properties with superior rheology.
- Raw material for water treatment: NAATBS is used in the cooling tower and boilers, to inhibit Calcium, Magnesium and Silica scale formation. They are also used to precipitate solids in industrial and mining effluents.
- Textile auxiliaries: NAATBS is used as a textile sizing agent, thickener, dispersant and a non-woven emulsion binder.
- Polymers to enhance oil recovery: 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid is used in oil field environments as scale inhibitors, friction reducers and water-control polymers, as well as in polymer flooding applications.
- Construction chemicals: On the construction sites where conditions of high salinity, high temperature and high pressure are present, Sodium AMPS copolymers are used to inhibit fluid loss.
- Detergents and cleaners: NAATBS is used to enhance the cleaning efficiency of detergents and cleaners by improving hydrophilicity, dispersibility and lubricity.
- In cementing operations: NAATBS is used as a non-retarding fluid loss control agent within deep high-temperature wells.
- Hydrogels and super absorbents: The compound is superabsorbent in nature making it perfect for use in diapers, lotions and other personal care products. Their high water-absorbing capacity is also helpful in electrical conductivity, slipperiness and lubricity. Also used as a water retention agent.
