  • Applications

    Monoethanolamine borate (CAS 10377-81-8) is commonly used as a pH-buffering and metal-chelating agent in cleaning formulations and industrial aqueous systems, helping stabilize pH and soften water. It is often employed as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids and industrial cooling systems to protect metal surfaces from corrosion. In coatings and inks, it serves as a pH stabilizer and processing aid to improve formulation stability and shelf life. In cosmetics and personal care, it is used as a pH adjuster and stabilizer in various formulations. Additionally, it may function as a processing stabilizer in certain polymer and plastics formulations, depending on formulation specifics and local regulatory limits.
