Maleic Anhydride is an industrial chemical intermediate primarily used in the manufacture of unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, and various chemical derivatives. It plays a key role in polymer modification, coatings, and plastic additive systems where reactive anhydride functionality is required. Maleic Acid is the corresponding dicarboxylic acid form and a related intermediate for resin and derivative routes where an acid rather than an anhydride is specified.
In commercial supply, Maleic Anhydride is typically available in solid briquette or flake form, as well as in molten form for bulk handling. Supply arrangements include standard export packaging, bulk logistics support, and documentation suitable for industrial procurement and downstream processing.
