Key Performance
Advantages
Amino Alcohol for Metalworking Fluids
••E xcellent alternative to An Ideal Replacement for Isopropanolamine (MIPA)
isopropanolamine
••Greater microbial resistance
CORRGUARD®-95 Amino Alcohol is an excellent choice for replacement of MIPA:
••Minimizes leaching of heavy
metals •• Stable supply

•• Similar use level to MIPA

•• Equal to better pH stability

•• Greater microbial resistance

•• Significantly less leaching of heavy metals (cobalt, lead)

CORRGUARD-95 Amino Alcohol provides equal to, or better, pH stability versus
