2-Acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid NEW

2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS® Registered Trademark name of The Lubrizol Corporation) is a reactive, hydrophilic, sulfonic acid acrylic monomer used to alter the chemical properties of wide variety of anionic polymers. In the 1970s, the earliest patents using this monomer were filed for acrylic fiber manufacturing. Today, there are over several thousands patents and publications involving use of AMPS in many areas including water treatment, oil field, construction chemicals, hydrogels for medical applications, personal care products, emulsion coatings, adhesives, and rheology modifiers.
