Industrial Uses

1. Construction

Ingredient in Construction Materials: Maleic anhydride is used in producing various construction materials, including adhesives, sealants, and composites.
Improvement of Material Properties: Enhances the performance of construction materials by improving adhesion, durability, and weather resistance.
Sustainable Building Solutions: Supports the development of environmentally friendly construction materials, contributing to greener building practices.

2. Fabric solutions

Agent for Fabric Treatments: Utilized in textile treatments to impart desired properties such as water repellency, flame retardancy, and stain resistance.
Dye Fixative and Enhancer: Acts as a fixative for dyes, ensuring better color retention and vibrancy in fabrics, contributing to improved product quality.
Sustainability in Textile Processes: Supports eco-friendly textile production methods by minimizing the environmental impact of dyeing and finishing processes.

3. Paints, Coatings & Adhesivs

Resins: MA is a key component in synthesizing Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPRs), which are widely used in coatings for their excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and adhesion properties. MA contributes to the production of alkyd resins, commonly used in paints and varnishes. These resins provide good gloss, durability, and drying properties. Derived from MA, these resins are utilized in coatings for their excellent adhesion, gloss, and resistance to water and chemicals.

4. Polymers & Resins

Monomers for Polymer & Resin Synthesis : It is frequently copolymerized with other vinyl monomers to produce a variety of polymers, such as unsaturated polyester resins and styrene–maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers. These polymers benefit from the reactive anhydride groups, which can be further modified to introduce functional groups, enhancing properties such as adhesion, chemical resistance, and impact strength.

5. Agrochemicals

Formulation of Biopesticides: Maleic anhydride can be used in developing biopesticide formulations, contributing to sustainable agriculture by reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals.
Soil Conditioning Products: Incorporated into soil amendments that enhance nutrient availability and improve soil structure, promoting healthier crop growth.
