Sugar amine based neutralizing agent for ecolabel certified lubricants
Genamin Gluco 50
Edition Date :
February 06, 2026
Genamin Gluco 50 is a 50% aqueous solution of dimethylglucamine (DMG), a tertiary amine with a content of tertiary amine greater than 99.5%. It is a colorless to yellow, clear liquid with an amine-like odor, used primarily as a neutralizing agent in environmentally friendly water-based fluids and ecolabel certified lubricants.
The product is VOC-free and SVOC-free, readily biodegradable, and based on renewable feedstock extracted from non-GMO corn, with a renewable carbon content of 75%. It is suitable for pH adjustment in formulations and has low foaming properties.
