Industry Status of Metal Cleaning Surfactants

By traditional thinking concept and cleaning technology lack of resources and the influence of such factors, most enterprise’s and individuals’ impact of metal equipment fouling and removal process is still stuck in the machinery, high pressure water, chemical pickling and other traditional "disruptive" technology terms and concepts; but simply think that the metal cleaning only seriously affected the production of circumstances will be considered, which they do not know the scale of the impact on the enterprise continues to generate energy, devouring profits. Moreover, in order to reduce cleaning costs, selected to equipment damage and corrosion cleaning method resulted in numerous leaks or scrap metal equipment and production stagnation, to pay higher than the cleaning agent hundreds even thousands of times the cost of.

Metal degreasing cleaning surfactant is a metal cleaning surfactant. China metal degreasing cleaning surfactant market grew rapidly, and in 2012, sales scale of metal degreasing detergent reached to 506,700 tons, sales reached 5.275 billion yuan. Aqueous cleaning surfactants are still the key species of metal degreasing cleaning surfactants, accounting for 37% of sales detergent, followed by chlorine-based cleaning surfactant and hydrocarbon cleaning surfactant. Hydrocarbon cleaning surfactant sales growing rapidly, there is a gradual trend to replace chlorine. In 2010, Chinese metal cleaning surfactant consumption reached 347,100 tons, sales reached 3.31 billion yuan, to 2012, metal degreasing cleaning surfactants showed a substantial increase in sales volume and sales, sales reached 506,700 tons, sales reached 5.275 billion yuan, due the impact of the financial crisis, a slight decrease compared to 2011.

Based on 2012 statistical data of metal degreasing cleaning surfactant, metal degreasing and cleaning surfactant largest sales volume and type of cleaning surfactant is aqueous cleaning surfactant, aqueous cleaning surfactant in 2012 sales reached 187,000 tons, accounting for total sales of metal degreasing cleaning surfactant 37% aqueous cleaning surfactant sales reached 2.51 billion yuan, accounting for metal degreasing and cleaning surfactant for 47% of total sales; in 2012, chlorine metal degreasing cleaning surfactant sales reached 93,000 tons, accounting for metal degreasing and cleaning surfactant for 18% of sales, Chlorine-based metal degreasing cleaning surfactant sales reached 500 million yuan, accounting for metal degreasing cleaning surfactant sales accounted for 10%; hydrocarbons metal degreasing cleaning surfactant sales reached 66,000 tons, accounting for metal degreasing cleaning surfactant sales 13%, hydrocarbon Compound metal degreasing cleaning surfactant sales reached 530 million yuan, accounting for metal degreasing cleaning surfactant 10% of sales.

According to the forecast, from 2012 to 2015, the annual steel consumption growth rate is around 7%. From 2010 to 2020, China will become the world's largest automobile producer. As a result, China's industrial metal cleaning surfactant market has great development space.
