Maleic Acid Anhydride - Intermediate Product in the Chemical Industry
Maleic Acid Anhydride
Maleic Acid Anhydride (CAS Number: 108-3-6) is the anhydride form of maleic acid. The anhydride compound is used as an intermediate product in the chemical industry, particularly in the production of plasticizers, unsaturated polyester resins, and raw materials for paints and coatings.
Other applications of maleic anhydride include the synthesis of pesticides, colorants, medications, tanning agents and curing agents for epoxy resins.
What makes this corrosive chemical so interesting is its ability to transition from the solid to the gaseous phase even at room temperature.
As a specialty chemical supplier, TER Chemicals work with a global network of manufacturers to provide its customers with high-quality raw materials. Please feel free to talk to us if you are looking for a reliable supplier or if you need more information or help finding the right product.
Industries
As an industrial intermediate product, it is widely used in the manufacture of unsaturated polyesters and in the synthesis of tensides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, growth regulators (e.g. maleic anhydride), as well as in other chemical compounds, such as 1,4-butanediol, which is used in the production of polyurethane and elastanes, or co-polymers, which are an important lubricant.
