Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market Synopsis
Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market expected to reach moderate CAGR growth forecast period 2018-2027. Metal cleaning chemicals are used to remove extraneous organic and inorganic material from the surface of metals, which are often contaminated by oil, grease, dirt and particulate matter, corrosion oxides, and other impurities over a period of time. Surface cleaning is necessary to prevent the metal from damage due to the penetration of oxides and other contaminants, thus increasing service life. Metals are generally corroded by coming into contact with hard water, organic materials such as algae, microbes, denatured protein residue, animal fat, and hydrocarbons and inorganic materials such as carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, sulfides, sulfates, silicates, and phosphates.
Metal cleaning chemicals are used for both industrial and household applications. They find widespread applications in the cleaning of equipment and heavy machinery in industries such as automotive and aerospace, electrical and electronics, and manufacturing industries including chemicals, healthcare, and food & beverage. They are also used to clean household utensils made of copper and its alloys, silver, and cast iron, among others.
The Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market is mainly driven by the widespread use of metals in equipment and heavy machinery across different end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, railways, electrical and electronics, metallurgy, chemicals, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage. Rapid industrialization in Asia-Pacific due to economic growth and lucrative investment policies is likely to boost the product market.
Stringent environmental regulations in developed countries against the use of toxic chemicals is expected to hamper product demand. Moreover, the need for bio-based and environmentally sustainable chemicals is likely to offer growth opportunities to players in the Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market during the forecast period. Several manufacturers have already started the production of bio-based metal cleaning chemicals to meet the growing consumer demand. For instance, in 2013, BASF expanded its technological base by purchasing industrial enzyme technology from Henkel AG & Co. KGaA for the manufacturing of detergents and cleaners. Also, NuGenTec is one of the leading producers of green industrial and oilfield cleaners, degreasers, and other chemicals using natural and organic ingredients such as soybeans and orange peel.

Industry News:
November 2021- A leading provider of industrial parts cleaning and surface treatment solutions, EcoClean said parts cleaning had become a vital production step in several industry areas. A good parts cleaning is required to meet particulate and film-type cleanliness specifications reproducibly and with the least charges possible. According to the firm, these varying needs call for processes and machines customized to particular needs. The materials used to manufacture these parts include metal, composites, ceramic, and plastic. To ensure the quality of the process, the need of cleanliness levels remain in line with requirements. October 2021- A prominent leader in custom-fashioned and developed molten salt bath equipment and specialty chemical formulations, Kolene Corporation, has announced the acquisition of Upton Industries. Upton Industries, since its founding in 1937 has been designing and developing thermal processing systems in the metal heat treating industry. The company said that its Engineered Thermal Solutions methodology has been prominent in conventional lines of heat treat equipment, including lift-off, car bottom, box type, and specialty furnaces with either gas-fired or electric heating systems. Kolene will allegedly operate in approximately 50,000 square feet of production, assembly, and commercial processing plants with the completion of the acquisition.November 2021- A leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment, Ichor Holdings, Ltd., announced that its subsidiary Incline Merger Sub, LLC, has signed a merger contract with IMG Companies, LLC.
