MIPA-borate

MIPA-borate (CAS 68003-13-4), also marketed under the component name monoisopropanolamine borate, is a reaction product of boric acid and isopropanolamine used as a corrosion inhibitor.

Where is MIPA-borate used?

• Metalworking fluids: corrosion inhibitor in semisynthetic and synthetic coolants, inhibiting rust on ferrous substrates
• Water-based industrial fluids: lubricity additive combining buffering action with metal protection
• Aerospace and defense maintenance fluids: corrosion protection for aluminum and steel components
• Automotive manufacturing: protection of tooling and workpieces in cutting and forming fluids
• Hydraulic fluid concentrates and rust-preventive coatings: water-dilutable corrosion protection
• It contributes to film lubricity during machining and grinding.

Commercial specifications

• Active content and pH profile relevant to fluid formulators
• Drum and IBC packaging for industrial supply volumes
