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 face recurring challenges with fluid formulation consistency—batch-to-batch variations in key additives like diethanolamine often lead to reduced lubricity, pH fluctuations, and shortened sump life. In our 10+ years serving metalworking plants across 50+ countries, we’ve seen how uncertified raw materials can derail production schedules and increase tool wear by up to 30%.

Stabilizing Metalworking Fluids Through ISO-Certified Raw Materials

Our ISO-certified diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2) addresses these critical pain points by delivering consistent purity and controlled impurity profiles. As a core component in high-performance metal processing fluids, it provides reliable emulsification, corrosion inhibition, and pH buffering—essential properties that maintain fluid stability even under extreme machining conditions. Backed by our global supply chain network serving 10,000+ industrial clients, we ensure uninterrupted availability for both small-batch formulations and large-scale production runs.

Industrial Applications of Diethanolamine

Diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2) serves as a multifunctional additive in industrial metalworking fluids, where its unique chemical structure enables effective lubrication and cooling during cutting, grinding, and forming operations. It functions as an emulsifier in water-based fluids, a corrosion inhibitor in metal protection formulations, and a pH adjuster in maintaining optimal fluid chemistry. Beyond metal processing, this compound finds applications in chemical synthesis, gas treatment, and surfactant production—strictly for industrial manufacturing purposes.

The Critical Role of Purity and Certification in Metalworking Additives

Molecular formula C4h11no2 defines diethanolamine’s chemical identity, but its performance in metalworking fluids depends on precise quality control. Our ISO certification ensures batch-to-batch consistency in key parameters: molecular weight (105.14 g/mol) verification confirms structural integrity, while strict impurity limits prevent metal surface staining and fluid degradation. Unlike uncertified alternatives, our product minimizes harmful byproducts that can cause dermatitis in workers or damage sensitive machining equipment. Each production run undergoes rigorous testing to maintain these specifications, directly translating to more stable fluid performance and longer tool life.

Risk Mitigation Through Quality Diethanolamine Sourcing

Choosing ISO certified diethanolamine reduces total cost of ownership by minimizing production disruptions and fluid replacement frequency. Inferior diethanolamine may contain excess water or unreacted ammonia, leading to premature fluid breakdown and increased waste disposal costs. Our product’s consistent quality ensures predictable fluid performance, reducing the need for frequent adjustments and rework. With full compliance to global chemical handling standards, we help clients meet regulatory requirements in markets across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Our Quality Assurance Process

Certificate of Analysis & Documentation

Each delivery includes a batch-specific COA and MSDS, with critical parameters such as assay value, color, and heavy metal content clearly stated. Clients can request full analytical reports by providing their order number, including chromatographic profiles and spectroscopic data for verification. We maintain batch records for a minimum of 5 years to support traceability requirements.

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, sealed and away from direct sunlight.
• Keep away from incompatible materials, food and feed sources.
• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, lab coat).
• Follow good industrial hygiene practices. Avoid inhalation and skin contact.
• Refer to MSDS for detailed storage and safety instructions.

Streamlined Order Process for Metalworking Fluid Manufacturers

To ensure compatibility with your specific fluid formulations, we recommend starting with a sample order for performance testing. Our technical team can provide guidance on optimal dosage and formulation techniques based on your application requirements. Once specifications are confirmed, standard orders ship within 3 business days for isotank deliveries and 5 days for steel drum packaging, with full documentation included.
