Manufacturing Process

Amino-2-propanol is typically produced via the amination of propylene oxide with ammonia under controlled conditions:

  1. Reaction: Propylene oxide reacts with aqueous ammonia in a high-pressure reactor.
  2. Separation: The product mixture is separated via distillation to isolate Amino-2-propanol from by-products like di- and tri-isopropanolamines.
  3. Purification: Further distillation and filtration ensure high-purity final product.
  4. Quality Control: Rigorous testing for purity, color, moisture, and other specifications.
