This case study investigates the effectiveness of Synergex™ T amine additive as a substitute for diisopropanolamine (DIPA) and diglycolamine (DGA) in semisynthetic metalworking fluid formulations. It includes pH comparisons, cost analysis, and performance testing results, demonstrating that Synergex T can effectively replace DIPA while MIPA can replace DGA, offering formulators a viable alternative with improved corrosion resistance and lower odor.
