Synonyms 1-amino-2-propanol

Chemical
Structure

Product DOW® Monoisopropanolamine (MIPA) is a basic chemical used in many applications serving
Description as an emulsifier, stabilizer, chemical intermediate, and a neutralizer that achieves basicity,
buffering, and alkalinity objectives. MIPA has the lowest molecular weight of the three
standard isopropanolamines. It is a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Dow offers
two grades of monoisopropanolamine:

• Monoisopropanolamine (MIPA)
• Monoisopropanolamine Electronics Grade (MIPA EG)

Monoisopropanolamine EG is suitable for applications that are sensitive to metal content,

such as LCD strippers. Sales specifications are available upon request.
