Market Overview

Chemical compounds called metal carboxylates are formed when the hydrogen atom in a carboxylic acid is replaced by a metal ion. Their unique properties make them an important choice as lubricants, stabilizers, driers, and catalysts in many industries. The international market for metal carboxylates is driven by the growing demand in markets for coatings and the automotive and agricultural industries. In industrial applications, metal carboxylates, particularly those containing zinc, manganese, and cobalt, can improve reaction efficiency and selectivity. Metal carboxylates help improve the attachment of pigments to surfaces by improving adhesion, which leads to improved durability and performance of coatings and inks. Metal carboxylates are particularly important for their drier and stabilizer properties in coatings, especially for environmentally friendly and waterborne coatings. The industrial demands for metal carboxylates as additives in lubricating oils and greases is increasing with almost all industries increasing automation and machinery usage. The promotion of environmentally acceptable applications using metal carboxylates, including biodegradable coatings, additives, and lubricants, is consistent with many governments' push towards promoting green chemistry principles.
