Purging Compounds
Purging compounds are chemical cleaning compounds that contain certain resins and additives in their formulation. They are widely used with various polyolefins such as thermoplastic olefin (TPO), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE); high temperature resins such as polysulfones (PSU) and polyether ether ketone (PEEK); and engineered resins such as high impact poly styrene (HIPS) and polyamide (PA). Purging compounds are extensively employed to clean extruder lines and molder machines.

Market perspective
Purging compounds are chemical cleaning compounds that contain certain resins and additives in their formulation. They are widely used with various polyolefins such as thermoplastic olefin (TPO), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE); high temperature resins such as polysulfones (PSU) and polyether ether ketone (PEEK); and engineered resins such as high impact poly styrene (HIPS) and polyamide (PA). Purging compounds are extensively employed to clean extruder lines and molder machines.
The Purging Compounds industry concentration is not high; there are several hundreds of manufacturers in the world with their leading company's market share standing at slightly over 10% and most others' no more than 1%. The market of Asia-Pacific, North America and Europe will play a decisive role in the future of this industry. Asia-Pacific have a larger consumption market share in 2020 which account for less than 40% of volume share and will witness a stable growth in following years. North America and Europe holding a market value share of around 30% and 25% respectively will still play an important role which cannot be ignored. Mechanical Purging is the dominate type in this industry with a market share of over a half.
