Maleic anhydride is an organic compound with the formula C₄H₂O₃. It is characterized as a white, crystalline solid with a sharp, irritating, acrid odor. It is a highly reactive chemical, primarily due to the presence of a reactive double bond (unsaturation) and two carbonyl groups arranged in a five-membered ring structure known as a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride.

Maleic Anhydride is primarily used to manufacture unsaturated polyester resins (UPR). These resins are essential for producing fiber-reinforced plastics, which are widely used in: Automotive parts (e.g., body panels, bumpers) Construction materials (e.g., pipes, tanks, building facades) Marine industry (e.g., boat hulls)
It acts as a precursor for high-value derivatives, including: 1,4-Butanediol (BDO), used in plastics, solvents, and elastomers. Tetrahydrofuran (THF), a solvent and precursor for spandex fibers. Fumaric and Malic Acids, employed as food additives (acidulants) and in pharmaceuticals
Maleic Anhydride is used to synthesize pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators. Examples include malathion and other crop protection agents.
It contributes to the production of lubricant additives (e.g., polyisobutylene succinimide), which enhance engine performance by reducing deposits and improving viscosity
Paper sizing agents derived from Maleic Anhydride improve water resistance and strength in paper products. Alkyd resins for paints and coatings provide durability and gloss retention
