Applications:
Maleic anhydride is used in many applications. Around 50% of world maleic anhydride output is used in the manufacture of unsaturated polyster resins (UPR). Chopped glass fibers are added to UPR to produce fiberglass reinforced plastics that are used in a wide range of applications such as pleasure boats, bathroom fixtures, automobiles, tanks and pipes.
A number of smaller applications for maleic anhydride. The food industry uses maleic anhydride in artificial sweeteners and flavor enhancements Personal care products consuming maleic anhydride include hair sprays, adhesives and floor polishes. Maleic anhydride is also a precursor to compounds used for water treatment detergents, insecticides and fungicides,pharmaceuticals and other copolymers.
