An overview of AMPS Monomer:

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. The CAS number of this compound is 12514-89-8 and the IUPAC name is 2-acrylamido-2-methyl  propane sulfonic acid. ATBS monomer is highly polymerisable and can be just as easily depolymerised with the help of acrylonitrile, acrylic acid, acrylic esters, acrylamide etc using basic methods. The quality that makes this compound unique is its strong hygroscopicity. It collects the moisture from the surroundings and collects itself together when it comes in contact with water.

AMPS monomer is a highly reactive, hydrophilic, sulphonic acid acrylic monomer used to alter the chemical properties of a large variety of anionic polymers. The molecular formula of this compound is C7H13NO4S. The aqueous solution of this compound is acidic in nature and soluble in water but insoluble in acetone. Acrylamide tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid is prepared by the reaction of acrylonitrile and isobutylene in the presence of sulfuric acid and water.

The ATBS monomer along with sodium salt allows the polymers to manufacture high-quality polymers for application in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. The AMPS monomer at Vinati Organics Ltd is organic, high in productivity and performance and available in both granules and liquid form.
