New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 10/17/2017 --Metal finishing chemicals are used to clean, plate and etch metallic surfaces which enhance their physical appearance and characteristics. Metal finishing chemicals help to alter/control various surface properties such as corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, electrical and wear resistance; reflectivity and appearance, hardness, chemical resistance and electrical conductivity, among others. Electrolytic plating, chemical conversion, electroless plating and electrochemical conversion are the majorly used processes in metal finishing chemical industries. De-greasing, pickling, etching, polishing and cleaning are the supporting processes which are used along with above mentioned processes. Materials preferred for metal finishing are chlorinated and oxygenated solvents, surfactants, solutions of metal salts and acid and bases among others. Electroplating chemical process dominated the metal finishing chemicals market followed by electroless plating and galvanization process. Metallic coatings processes such as vapor deposition and thermal spray coatings are also likely to gain more importance in upcoming years.
The market for metal finishing chemicals was mainly driven by huge demand from electrical & electronics and increasing demand from automotive industry. Metal finishing chemicals are used in finishing of printed circuit boards along with other electronic devices. Metal finishing chemicals are used for etching and cleaning of these surfaces. Metal finishing chemicals are used for cleaning and degreasing metal substrates such as steel, aluminum and nickel among others. In addition, metal finishing chemicals have huge demand from automotive and aerospace equipments. Aerospace is anticipated to be fastest growing industry for metal finishing chemicals market. The demand in aerospace industry is huge owing increased demand from cleaning and degreasing of equipments.
