Global Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market: Synopsis
Metal cleaning chemicals are used to wash off extraneous organic and inorganic
materials from the surface of metals. They are used to remove unwanted
substances, oil, grease, particulates, corrosion oxides, and other impurities to
prevent damage and maintain performance efficiency. Usage of cleaning chemicals
protects metals from corrosion caused by lubricating oil, corroding substrates, hard
water, etc., that are deposited on the surface. They remove fouling caused by
organic materials (such as algae, microbes, denatured protein residues, animal fats,
and hydrocarbons) and inorganic materials (such as carbonates, hydroxides, oxides,
sulfides, sulfates, silicates, and phosphates). Metal cleaning chemicals are
employed to clean equipment and heavy machineries used in industries such as
manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and transportation.

A wide variety of chemicals are used in the cleaning process depending on the
nature of metals. Selection of metal cleaning chemicals also depends on various
factors such as surface condition and impurities to be removed. Metal cleaning
chemicals are broadly classified into two groups – aqueous and solvent – based on
application method. On the other hand, based on chemical composition, they are
segmented into two categories: acid and alkali. Alkaline chemicals are used to
remove organic impurities such as oil, grease, and soil from metal, whereas acidic
chemical cleaners are used to remove inorganic substances such as scale, lime, and
smut from the metal surface. Inorganic mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, nitric
acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid are used as metal
cleaning chemicals. Strong acids such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric
acid are broadly used to clean stainless steel. Mild acids such as phosphoric acid
and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether are used to clean the surface of iron and steel.
Equipment that are used in the metal cleaning process include spray, soak,
electroclean, and ultrasonic.
