What chemicals are produced from maleic anhydride?

Maleic anhydride applications are extremely broad, primarily used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) (both reinforced and non-reinforced), coatings, paints, inks, engineering plastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, papermaking, textile auxiliaries, food additives, feed additives, and oil additives.
Chemicals produced from maleic anhydride (e.g., succinic acid, succinic anhydride, γ-butyrolactone, 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, L-aspartic acid, L-alanine) and their secondary derivatives (e.g., PTMEG, PBT, PBS) are currently widely used and in short supply in the domestic market.

Maleic anhydride shines with superior reactivity and versatile downstream applications—ideal for resins, pesticides, and coatings. Click to consult our tailored bulk supply solutions now!
