What is Surface and Metal Finishing?
Surface and metal finishing is a process critical in the manufacturing of all kinds of products around the world. It is necessary for:
- Corrosion protection
- Appearance and finish
- Resistance against wear
- Lubricity
- Physical enhancement of a metallic or plastic substrate
Chemicals Involved in Surface and Metal Finishing Industries
Surface and metal finishing is a critical process in many industries, from the production of basic commodities to the building of mission critical components. Surface and metal finishing process typically use chemicals such as:
- Ammonia
- Chromic acid
- Hydrofluoric acid
- Nitric acid
- Phosphoric Acid
- Sodium hydroxide
- Sulfuric Acid
When these chemicals are left in process tanks, the liquid surface can turn into a gaseous vapor or mist. These vapors need to be contained to prevent toxic exposure to workers, as well as corrosion on machinery and building structures. This can be achieved using an exhaust ventilation system paired with a chemical scrubber of mist eliminator specifically designed for surface and metal finishing industries.
