What are metal chemicals? Metal chemicals are specialty surfactants and additives used in metal cleaning, metal finishing, and metalworking. They include low-foam cleaners, lubricity aids, brightener additives, and metal complexing agents that improve cleaning, plating, and fluid performance. Esteem’s portfolio supports parts washing, electroplating, phosphating, and metalworking fluid formulations.
