The sample spectrum is consistent with a commercial coolant formulation containing oxygenated organic components such as ethylene glycol and alkanolamines (e.g., triethanolamine). Prominent aliphatic C–H stretching bands, broad O–H/N–H absorption, and C–O stretching features support the presence of polyols and amines. The library search returns Coolant as the nearest match, with the Top-15 candidates dominated by ethanolamines and diols, corroborating this assignment

Detailed interpretation

  • Top library match: Coolant #143491
  • No distinct carbonyl absorption near 1730 cm⁻¹ is observed; therefore methacrylate or ester structures are unlikely despite the AI-generated direction hint of methoxy/methacrylate.
  • A weak band at 2375 cm⁻¹ may arise from atmospheric CO₂ interference rather than a sample component.
  • The exact ratio of glycol to alkanolamine cannot be determined from FTIR data alone, and the presence of water or minor additives may influence the spectrum.
  • Differentiation between primary, secondary, and tertiary amine contributions is limited by the broad O–H/N–H envelope.

Recommended next steps: Compare the spectrum with reference spectra of known ethylene glycol/triethanolamine-based coolant formulations. Consider GC-MS or NMR analysis to confirm the specific alkanolamine and glycol composition. The band at 2375 cm⁻¹ may be due to CO₂; perform a nitrogen-purged background measurement or spectral subtraction to verify.
