应用


Mainly includes:

🔹 1. Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR)

Maleic anhydride is one of the key raw materials for the production of unsaturated polyester resin.

This resin is widely used in industries such as fiberglass, building materials, automotive parts, ships, and pipelines.

🔹 2. Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and Plasticizers

Through hydrogenation, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THF) can be produced for the production of engineering plastics and elastomers.

It can also be used to produce plasticizers, alkyd resins, and surfactants.

🔹 3. Paper and Agrochemicals

Used in paper sizing agents to improve paper's water resistance and strength.

Used as an intermediate in pesticides, such as herbicides and insecticides.

🔹 4. Coatings and Adhesives

Used in coatings and adhesives to improve product adhesion, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance.

🔹 5. Other Applications

Prepared for chemical products such as fumaric acid and succinic acid.

Serves as an important intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and fragrances.
