Maleic Anhydride (otherwise named furan-2,5-dione ) is a colourless-to-white unsaturated crystalline compound with a formula of C4H2O3, soluble in acetone and subject to hydrolysis with water. Until recently, Maleic Anhydride’s production has been realized via the oxydation of aromatic compounds, majorly benzene. Today, only some plants keep on using benzene owing to rising prices for the feedstock, with the majority of Maleic Anhydride-making plants using n-butane.
Driven by the healthy construction sector and global economy’s state in general, just over a good half of all Maleic Anhydride digested globally is for the making of unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), with butanediol being the most favoured one. More applications for Maleic Anhydride encompass pesticides, malic and fumaric acids, lubricant additives, alkenyl succinic anhydrides (ASAs), “reactive” plasticizers, esters of sulfosuccinic acid, and more. Would-be applications are likely to be multitudinous.
