AMPS® Specialty Monomers

Applications

Acrylic fiber
AMPS® monomer imparts a number of enhanced performance characteristics to acrylic, modified-acrylic, polypropylene and polyvinylidine fluoride fibers.

Coating and adhesive
AMPS® monomer is field-proven to achieve exceptional latex stability in high- performance latex coatings.

Cosmetic
A high molecular weight AMPS® homopolymer is a very efficient skin lubricant .

Medical hydrogel  
The lubricity and anti-coagulant characteristics of AMPS® monomer are also useful in a number of hydrogel applications.

Oil field
Homopolymers and copolymers of AMPS® monomer are used in many oil field applications.

Water treatment
The divalent cation stability of the AMPS® monomer’s chemical structure results in polymers that are vey effective in water treatment processes.
