Apart from the companies which deal on the upfront chemical market, there are companies which are in practice of supplying the virgin or untouched and fresh chemicals to these companies. These companies are known as Sourcing Companies. The basic task and function of these companies is to provide source backup to major market players.

Chemicals are used for different purposes being unrestricted to medical purposes like in house cleaning, paste- control, film processing etc. Therefore some chemicals are to be applied in their original form without any specific and glorified processing such as acids. The chemical companies have their units in this division too.

These chemicals are either sourced to the distributors directly or to the users without any external interference, the same is called chemical sourcing. But it is not restricted to such sourcing only, rather when a sourcing company sources its chemicals to another unit for further purposes; it also amounts to chemical Sourcing. Basically it can be said that bulk chemicals, sourcing companies and chemical sourcing are the predecessors of the chemical companies, with respect to the material used and dealt with in their units.
