3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (APD)

APD is synthesised by reacting 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (CPD) with ammonia in a sodium hydroxide alkaline environment. Afterwards, the product undergoes a series of purification steps.

We are the world’s largest producer of CPD. It is a viscous chemical and caution needs to be taken to ensure proper handling. The product is most suitably supplied in heated iso-containers.

Please refer to the technical datasheet to see typical values and impurities of this product. Production is available from two independent process units, both located at our site in Sarpsborg, Norway.
