Diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2) for High-Performance Metal Processing Fluids with ISO Certification

Product Specifications

Addressing Metalworking Fluid Instability with Diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2)

Metal processing facilities worldwide struggle with inconsistent additive performance—batch variations in diethanolamine can lead to emulsion breakdown, reduced tool life, and costly production delays. Over our 10+ years serving metalworking industries, we’ve seen how substandard chemical purity disrupts fluid formulations, forcing manufacturers to constantly adjust processes to maintain quality.

A Stable Foundation for High-Performance Metalworking Fluids

Our ISO certified diethanolamine delivers the consistency modern metal processors demand. As a key additive in water-based metalworking fluids, it provides critical pH buffering and lubricity enhancement that stabilizes emulsions even under extreme machining conditions. With supply chain experience spanning 50+ countries, we ensure reliable delivery to keep your production lines running without interruption.

Industrial Applications in Metalworking Fluids

Diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2) serves as a multifunctional additive in metal processing fluid formulations, acting as an emulsifier, corrosion inhibitor, and pH adjuster. Its unique chemical structure makes it particularly effective in semi-synthetic and synthetic cutting fluids, where it helps maintain stable emulsion systems during high-pressure machining operations. This high-performance metalworking fluid chemical is also used in quenching fluids and metal cleaning solutions, providing consistent results across various metalworking processes.

Why Key Specifications Matter in Metalworking Applications

The molecular formula C4H11NO2 defines diethanolamine’s reactivity and solubility—critical factors for formulating stable metalworking fluids. Its molecular weight of 105.14 influences diffusion rates in emulsion systems, directly impacting lubricity at the tool-chip interface. ISO certification ensures our product meets stringent quality standards, minimizing impurities that could cause fluid degradation or machine corrosion. Consistent composition batch-to-batch eliminates the need for frequent formulation adjustments, reducing production downtime and material waste.

Risk Reduction Through Quality Diethanolamine Sourcing

Using certified diethanolamine reduces the risk of fluid separation, which can lead to poor surface finish and increased tool wear. Inferior grades often contain water or amine impurities that accelerate sump life degradation, requiring more frequent fluid changes and higher overall costs. Our ISO certified diethanolamine ensures your metalworking fluids maintain performance characteristics longer, while our strict quality control processes guarantee compliance with global chemical handling standards, supporting your environmental and safety initiatives.
