Abstract
A variety of boric acid esters of various alcohols were prepared and screened for antimicrobial activity in spent coolants of water-based cutting fluids. Boric acid esters of triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, geranic acid monodiethylene glycol and some hydroxy amines, such as 5-aminopentanol, showed good antimicrobial activity.
