What is Maleic Anhydride? It is an organic compound with the formula C₂H₂(CO)₂O. It is the acid anhydride of maleic acid. It is a colourless or white solid with an acrid odour. It is produced industrially on a large scale for applications in coatings and polymers

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Maleic Anhydride, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Plastics and Resins
Around 50% of world maleic anhydride output is used in the manufacture of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR). These resins are used in diverse applications such as vehicles, construction, furniture, and machinery. Chopped glass fibers are added to UPR to produce fiberglass reinforced plastics. Maleic anhydride is hydrogenated to 1,4-butanediol (BDO), used in the production of thermoplastic polyurethanes, elastane/Spandex fibers, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resins and many other products.

Curing Agents
Diels-Alder reaction of maleic anhydride and butadiene and isoprene gives the respective tetrahydrophthalic anhydrides which can be hydrogenated to the corresponding hexahydrophthalic anhydrides. These species are used as curing agents in epoxy resins.

Lubricants
Another market for maleic anhydride is lubricating oil additives, which are used in gasoline and diesel engine crankcase oils as dispersants and corrosion inhibitors.
