Inhibitory properties of 1,3-propanediols in cutting fluids

It has been shown that 1,3-propanediol compounds exhibit antimicrobial properties in cutting fluids, two of the most active compounds being 2-nitro-2-bromo-1, 3-propanediol and 2-nitro-2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol (nepd). Since the former chemical is well known as an antimicrobial agent, nepd was select...

Summary:It has been shown that 1,3-propanediol compounds exhibit antimicrobial properties in cutting fluids, two of the most active compounds being 2-nitro-2-bromo-1, 3-propanediol and 2-nitro-2-ethyl-1, 3-propanediol (nepd). Since the former chemical is well known as an antimicrobial agent, nepd was selected for additional studies. It was found that the antimicrobial properties of nepd were increased by the presence of edta, that it did not markedly interfere with the antimicrobial properties of cutting fluid preservatives and that it combines well with certain amines — such as ethanol-amines, propanolamines, butanolamine and butylamines — to produce mixtures with improved inhibitory properties.
