Metal can packaging refers to containers used for the storage and distribution of goods such as food, beverages, oil, and chemicals. Such packaging is usually made out of materials such as steel and aluminum. Consumers prefer metal cans to other traditional packaging materials because of benefits such as a long shelf life, recyclability, UV ray resistance, moisture and bacterial protection, excellent printability, and the ability to retain flavor.

Beverage containers provide product support, external environment protection, and tamper resistance for beverages. Beverage containers aid in reliable distribution of beverages throughout the value chain and reduce post-production damage. The beverage container industry uses glass, rigid plastic, and metal to make beverage containers.

Forming fluids are metalworking fluids used in operations that are involve changing the shape and contour of metals. Forming fluids include rolling oils, drawing and stamping compounds, forging compounds, die-casting compounds, and hydroforming fluids. The global forming fluids market is expected to witness a moderate CAGR of 2.84% for the period 2014-2019. In 2014, APAC led the market, accounting for 42.08% of the global market share, the majority of which was contributed by the primary metals segment. APAC was followed by North America and EMEA, respectively.

Removal fluids, a type of metal working fluids, are lubricating oils that are used to lower the temperature of metallic work pieces while they are subjected to industrial processes such as machining, grinding, milling, stamping, and forging. Removal metal working fluids are added during the abovementioned and other industrial processes for reducing the heat and friction between the cutting or machining tools and the work piece and prevent burning, smoking, and damage to the tool and the work piece. These fluids help in enhancing the overall quality of the work piece by constantly removing the metal chips from the tool used and from the work piece. Removal fluids are used in various industrial and commercial sectors for applications such as fabrication of metal products, smooth working of machinery, and manufacturing of transportation equipment.
