Product Description
Maleic Anhydride
Chemical Formula: C₄H₂O₃
CAS Number: *******6
Description:
Maleic Anhydride (MA) is a white crystalline organic compound
with a sharp, acrid odor. It is the anhydride form of maleic acid
and is highly reactive due to its double bonds and anhydride
group. This makes it an essential intermediate in many industrial
applications.
Key Properties:
• Appearance: White solid or
molten liquid.
• Melting Point: *2.8°C
(**7°F)
• Boiling Point: **2°C
(**6°F)
• Solubility: Reacts with
water to form maleic acid; soluble in acetone, benzene, and other
organic solvents.
Applications:
1. Unsaturated Polyester
Resins (UPR):
Maleic anhydride is a key raw material for producing UPR, widely
used in fiberglass-reinforced plastics, construction materials,
and automotive parts.
2. Alkyd Resins:
Used in manufacturing alkyd resins for paints, varnishes, and
coatings, offering durability and adhesion.
3. Additives for Lubricants
and Fuels:
MA is utilized in the synthesis of oil additives, improving the
performance and longevity of engines and machinery.
4. Agricultural
Products:
A precursor in the synthesis of pesticides, herbicides, and plant
growth regulators.
5. Chemical
Intermediates:
• Production of fumaric acid
(a food additive and industrial raw material).
• Synthesis of succinic acid
and 1,*-butanediol.
• Creation of copolymers and
adhesives.
6. Other Applications:
• Paper sizing agents.
• Additives in the food and
beverage industry.
• Water treatment
chemicals.
Storage and Handling:
Maleic anhydride should be stored in a cool, dry, and
well-ventilated area, away from sources of moisture and
incompatible materials like strong bases and oxidizers. It is
corrosive to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, so proper PPE
is essential during handling.
Packaging:
Typically supplied in bags, drums, or molten form, depending on
end-use requirements. Packaging ensures moisture protection to
maintain product quality.
