The North America Metal Finishing Chemicals Market would witness market growth of 4.44% CAGR during the forecast period (2019-2025).
In the aerospace industry, electroplating is used in valve components, rams pistons, and satellite and rocket components. It is also used in shock absorbers, sinks, gears, brake pistons, etc., in the automotive industry. Black oxide is a conversion coating formed by a chemical reaction that occurs when parts are immersed in the alkaline aqueous salt solution that operates at about 285 degrees F. The advantages of black oxide are no dimensional changes, light glare reduction, dark black colour, improved lubrication characteristics, temperature-resistant colour change, no white corrosion, and no hydrogen embrittlement. An increase in the demand for this product can be associated with the properties of metal finishing chemicals, such as corrosion resistance, wear, electrical, hardness, torque, and chemicals combined with electrical conductivity, metal surface appearance, and reflectivity.
Strict regulations on wastewater management and hazardous waste disposal for metal finishing industries have been enforced by agencies like EPA, REACH, and OSHA. The EPA’s Clean Water Act developed stringent industrial wastewater regulations as it requires contaminants including cyanides, suspended solids, organic substances, and heavy salts. Such contaminants are environmentally harmful and present potential health risks which, over the forecast period, are likely to hinder the market growth.
