2-Acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) is a widely used multifunctional polymer monomer and has good market potential.

2-Acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) is a multifunctional water-soluble anionic surfactant monomer with the molecular formula C7H13NO4S. It is a white crystalline powder with a sour smell; it is soluble in DMF and slightly soluble. It is insoluble in methanol, ethanol, and insoluble in acetone, toluene and other solvents; it is a strong acid, and the pH of the aqueous solution is related to its concentration. The dry monomer is stable at room temperature, but the aqueous solution is easily polymerized, and the sodium salt solution is more stable.

The synthesis of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) mainly uses acrylonitrile, isobutylene, fuming sulfuric acid, etc. as raw materials. Fuming sulfuric acid is added to the mixture of acrylonitrile and isobutylene in the presence of various additives. The direct reaction gives the finished product.

Domestic 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) has a variety of excellent properties, and it is widely used abroad in oil exploration, water treatment, biomedical materials, synthetic fibers, plastics, papermaking and other fields. The research and production of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) in China started late, and its application research is relatively weak. There is a certain gap between the technical level and foreign leading companies, and the product purity is low. It is mainly used domestically. In oil fields, water treatment, synthetic fibers and other fields.

At this stage, domestic 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) production companies mainly include Hubei Haili (Group) Company, Weifang Auri Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Longmai Chemical Co., Ltd., Shouguang Songchuan Industry Auxiliary Co., Ltd., etc.

According to the“China 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) industry market supply and demand status and development trend forecast from 2022 to 2026” released by the Industrial Research Center Report” shows that at this stage, the application fields of 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) in China are mainly concentrated in the water treatment industry and oil fields, and currently some large and medium-sized cities in China Wastewater treatment has begun to use AMPS extensively. In addition, as the research on AMPS gradually deepens, its application in oilfield chemicals will receive widespread attention. In recent years, with the development of domestic water treatment industry, oil fields and other downstream industries, the domestic market demand for 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) has continued to increase.

Industrial researchers personnel said that AMPS has good water solubility, acid resistance, salt resistance, stability, complexing and other properties , In addition, AMPS also has conductivity, dyeing affinity, ion exchange and good tolerance to cations, and its product performance is excellent. In the future, with further in-depth research on AMPS, its application fields will continue to expand. Coupled with the increase in product market penetration, the market demand for AMPS will continue to grow, and the market development prospects are broad.
