Abstract
The presence of bacteria and fungi in the metal-working fluid (MWF) of a large central tank (150 m3) in an engineering factory was studied over 3 years with the aim of microbial prevention. During the first year it was possible to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi by the use of formaldehyde (270 ppm) and sodium Omadine (60 ppm).
During the subsequent years the antimicrobial capacity of alkanolamines was explored. In laboratory tests it was found that the antimicrobial activity was greatly enhanced at higher pH values. Butylethanolamine and dimethylamino-methyl-propanol had the highest antimicrobial potency of the alkanolamines, in vitro. Butylethanolamine in combination with a pH higher than 9 was also an efficient antimicrobial agent when used in MWF under workshop conditions. The enhanced antimicrobial activity of the alkanolamines at higher pH offers both a non-expensive way of microbial control and a mechanism for selective toxicity.
