Market Overview

Simple surfactant-based cleansers and degreasers or solvents can be used as metal cleaning agents. The components of durable products like washing machines, cars, and aeroplanes are made using metal and chemicals. Metal cleaning chemicals are used to keep metal from corroding. Alkaline-based water cleaners are so effective at eliminating organic dirt and heavy greases, they are commonly used. Cleaning agents shield metals from corrosion caused by hard water, corroding substrates, lubricating oil, and other surface impurities.

ClearTech Industries announced in September 2025 that they are now an official distributor of Hach, the most innovative water quality equipment company and Canada's most reliable independent chemical supplier.

Possibility of creating sustainable metal cleaners that are environmentally benign and biobased. Businesses are now encouraging the use of biobased materials through innovation and initiatives. Technological developments that improve formulas to increase performance and reduce energy use are also important aspects. Additionally, increasing knowledge about the benefits of metal cleaning chemicals in enhancing product quality and preventing corrosion increases their use across a variety of industries.
