A Detailed Overview of Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid

Acrylamide tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid is a special sulfonic acid acrylic monomer that is highly reactive. It is also known by other names such as AMPS (Acrylamide 2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid.

ATBS is a highly versatile substance that possesses properties like thermal stability, hydrophilicity, polarity and reactivity. It can be easily copolymerized with acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, acrylic esters and acrylamides.

Nowadays, Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid has become the fastest growing product among all sulfonated carboxylic acids. The main reason for this is its high effectiveness and low cost of production. In addition, it’s also one of the most versatile chemicals found today because of its wide range of uses in different industries.

Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid Chemical Structure and Properties

Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid is a white powder with a molecular formula of C8H13NO2S and a molecular weight of 169. It’s soluble in water, ethanol and propylene glycol.

Properties of ATBS

ATBS is a versatile chemical that is hydrolytic is nature and possesses properties like thermal stability, hydrophilicity, polarity and reactivity. As it is highly polymerizable, it can be copolymerized with a variety of chemicals like acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, acrylic esters and acrylamides as it is. The aqueous solution of ATBS is acidic and soluble in Dimethyl, partly soluble in methanol and insoluble in acetone.

Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid (ATBS) is a colourless solid with a melting point of ~58C, which makes it highly soluble in water. Its density is 2.6 g/cm3 at 20 degrees Celsius and it has a molecular weight of 154g/mol

How Is ATBS Manufactured

Acrylamide tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid is prepared by the reaction of acrylonitrile and isobutylene in the presence of sulfuric acid and water.

Applications Of Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid

Today there are many applications of Acrylamide Butyl Sulfonic Acid. Used in the production of polymers. It has application in various industries, such as food and beverage packaging, textile processing, pharmaceuticals. oil fields, construction chemicals, hydrogels for medical purposes, personal care products, emulsion coatings, adhesives and rheology modifiers. ATBS is also used in water treatment plants, acrylic fibers, oilfields, latex and adhesives.

In the oil and gas field, ATBS chemical is used in its granule as well as liquid form since its hydraulic nature, viscosity and divalent cation stability makes it ideal for such applications.

The dispersion of solids in the aqueous medium of ATBS is cordially stable which makes it an ideal choice for manufacturing high-solid emulsions

Takeaway

Acrylamide Tertiary Butyl Sulfonic Acid is a chemical compound that is used in the production of polymers, resins and coatings. It has a white liquid with a smell like that of acrylonitrile.
