Additional Information
INTRODUCTION
Metal finishing can be defined as the deposition of a coating, which may be metallic or non-
metallic on to a metallic substrate. Metal finishing constitutes various methods used by most
industries that manufacture metal parts and manufacturers execute the finishing after a metal part
has been formed. Metal finishing can be any activity that alters the surface of a workpiece to attain
specific characteristics. It can be a surface treatment yielding a thin film, to enhance the
appearance, function or performance of a product, and to give added value and increased
marketability. Metal finishing includes a number of operations, including surface preparation,
surface pretreatment and then the actual coating process. The coating process may be organic,
inorganic or hybrid. In this report, the emphasis will be on inorganic metal coating technologies,
relevant processes and products and their respective global as well as regional markets.

2. STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This report studies and highlights the role of inorganic metal finishing technologies in providing

inorganic metal finishing coatings and gives a market overview, analyzing major market trends
both in terms of region and application sector. In addition, the report studies in detail the new
developments taking place in the metal finishing industry with respect to continuous improvements
in environmental performance.
The report analyzes the market for various products as well as for the technologies involved. The
market for various emerging technologies in inorganic metal finishing as well as the new products
produced using these technologies has been looked into in the report
The report also analyzes the various applications of inorganic metal finishing coatings in detail and
the markets of such applications, with special emphasis on the new products being developed and
markets for such products. Along with the development of new products, research and
development is taking the metal finishing technology to new heights, and a closer look into such
technologies has been made in the report. New applications coming out of emerging technologies
are also discussed.
Customers are driving the increased demand for such new technologies with huge expectations in
diverse areas such as performance, ease of application, sustainability, quality, functionality, and
environmental properties. All of the above expectations require special attention from
manufacturers in order to ensure that products meet expected standards and the market remains
buoyant. This report pinpoints the need for the industry’s commitment to continuous improvement
in environmental performance and takes a glimpse at a future in which the functionality of
inorganic metal finishing will be enhanced and transformed from the conventional areas of
protection and aesthetics to meet additional and more specific demands.
