ATBS/AMPS (Acrylamide tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid)
CAS No.: 15214-89-8
Product Description:
Acrylamide tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid is a very unique versatile vinyl compound that has a sulphonic group. Its uses are widely found in the production of polymers, textiles, flocculants, dispersants, scale control agents and well-additives.
Application:
- Oilfield and Mining Chemicals: Polymers containing 2-acrylamido 2-methylpropane sulfonic acid provide excellent high temperature stability, lubricity and friction reduction in drilling and cementing fluids.
- Construction Chemicals: AMPS based polymers improve dispersibility, lubricity and can be used as excellent flow control auxiliaries for building materials.
- Textile Auxiliaries: Textile Sizing agents, Thickeners, Dispersants and Non-Woven Emulsion Binders
- Emulsions for Paints and Paper Coatings: Polymers containing AMPS / ATBS improve scrub resistance, dispersant performance and reduce grit formation.
- Adhesives: ATBS based polymers improve tack and peal strength in Pressure Sensitive Adhesive formulations. It offers adhesive strength, thermal and mechanical properties with superior rheology.
- Hydrogels and Super Absorbents: AMPS based polymers impart water-absorbing capacity, electrical conductivity, slipperiness and lubricity. Hence, it is used in medical applications as well as diapers, lotions and other personal care products.
- Acrylic Fibre: Used as a co-monomer in acrylic fibre industries to enhance dye receptibility.
