Monoethanolamine Borate (CAS 10377-81-8) is a Technical Grade liquid alkanolamine-borate ester used as a nitrite-free corrosion inhibitor and pH buffering agent in metalworking fluids, alkaline industrial cleaners and engine coolant systems, where it forms a protective film on ferrous metals and limits bacterial and fungal growth in circulating systems. This Technical Grade liquid provides a stable protective film on ferrous metals, effectively preventing oxidation in aqueous environments.
It serves as a high-efficiency pH Buffering Agent, ensuring the stability of chemical formulations over extended periods. The compound is widely recognized for its low-foaming characteristics and its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi in circulating systems.
As a Nitrite-Free additive, it meets modern environmental and safety standards for industrial fluids. Its high water solubility and synergy with other surfactants make it an indispensable component in high-performance metalworking and cleaning applications.
Monoethanolamine Borate
Applications
- Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a primary corrosion inhibitor and bio-stabilizer in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
- Industrial Cleaners: Utilized in alkaline degreasers to provide "flash rust" protection for metal components during the cleaning process.
- Engine Coolants: Integrated into automotive and heavy-duty cooling systems as a specialized aluminum and steel protector.
Safety & Risks
Classified as a Corrosive Substance that can cause severe eye damage and skin irritation. Handling requires PPE such as Face Shields, Chemical-Resistant Aprons, and Nitrile Gloves.
