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.
