Maleic Anhydride

Maleic Anhydride

Maleic Anhydride is a chemical intermediate, manufactured from benzene oxidation using a special catalyst. The process technology is licensed by Polynt SpA (Italy) with the total production capacity of 14.000 tons/year.

Maleic Anhydride is a versatile chemical with present and potential uses in practically every field of industrial chemical. The versatility of Maleic Anhydride derives from its chemical structure, a dicarboxylic acid group and a reactive double bond in the alpha and beta positions. Because of this structure and its reactivity, maleic anhydride derivatives will become multifaceted resin forms and organic reactants to a variety of chemical products / reactions.

The main applications of Maleic Anhydride are:

• Production of Unsaturated Polyester Resins
• Production of Rosin adduct
• Production of Alkyd Resin
• Production of Fumaric acid
• Production of Lubricant oil
