Why are Halogenated Solvent Cleaner Sales Rising Steadily?

“Increasing Use in Paints & Coatings Industry”

The paints and coatings industry has emerged as a significant driver for the halogenated solvent cleaner market, with the demand for these solvents experiencing steady growth in recent years. Rigorous cleaning procedures are required to produce high-quality paints and coatings because surfaces and equipment need to be free of pollutants, residue, and impurities. Owing to their remarkable capacity to dissolve a wide variety of compounds and their outstanding cleaning power, halogenated solvents have become essential for attaining the required degree of cleanliness and product quality.

The paints and coatings industry is under obligation to implement cleaning methods that minimize the use of hazardous compounds and reduce emissions as environmental laws become more stringent. Environmental regulations can be met with the help of halogenated solvents that are low in GWP (Global Warming Potential) and ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential). These solvents will prove to be an excellent substitute for conventional solvents.

• The global coatings market stood at a value of US$ 202.1 billion in 2023 and by volume was calculated at 48.3 billion liters.

“High Need for Precision Cleaning in High-Tech Industries"

Industries requiring strict hygiene and precision cleaning are semiconductors, electronics, and aerospace. Halogenated solvents work especially well in eliminating residue, oil, and other hard impurities from complex parts and surfaces. Use of halogenated solvent cleansers is being fueled by these industries' increasing need for high-precision products.

Aerospace and aviation industries follow strict cleaning guidelines to ensure the dependability and safety of aircraft systems and components. Fuel systems, hydraulic systems, engine parts, and other crucial components are frequently cleaned and degreased using halogenated solvents. They enable in protecting the functionality and integrity of these high-precision components by eliminating resistant oil, greas, and contaminants.

What are the Difficulties Faced by Halogenated Solvent Cleaner Manufacturers?

“Environmental Compliance Challenges for Halogenated Solvent Manufacturers”

Manufacturers of halogenated solvent cleaners face several significant challenges and issues. Environmental and regulatory concerns are among the most important, as some halogenated solvents are associated with issues such as ozone depletion, possible global warming, toxicity, and environmental impacts.

To address these concerns, governments and regulatory agencies have implemented regulations and restrictions on the manufacture, use, and disposal of halogenated chemicals, such as the Montreal Protocol, EU REACH, and EPA regulations in the US. Balancing manufacturing and environmental responsibility while complying with stringent regulations is an ongoing challenge for halogenated solvent cleaning manufacturers.
