Product Description

Maleic Anhydride (MAA) is a white, crystalline solid with a characteristic acrid odor, supplied as flakes or briquettes. It is one of the most versatile C4 chemical intermediates, widely used as a raw material for unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), fumaric and malic acid, alkyd resins, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, lubricant additives and agricultural chemicals.

With stable upstream production capacity in China, XG Chem supplies solid premium-grade maleic anhydride (purity ≥99.5%) in export-standard packaging, with a Certificate of Analysis provided for every batch.

Applications

  • Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR) – the largest application; MAA provides rigidity and fast cure in FRP, SMC/BMC and coating resins

  • 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) / THF / GBL – feedstock for hydrogenation downstream chains

  • Fumaric acid & malic acid – food and feed grade acidulants

  • Alkyd resins & paints – improves hardness, adhesion and drying performance

  • Styrene-Maleic Anhydride (SMA) copolymers – for coatings, paper sizing and plastics

  • Lubricant additives – PIBSA/ashless dispersants

  • Agrochemicals – intermediates for maleic hydrazide and other crop protection products

Packaging & Storage

  • 25 kg PP woven bags with PE liner (palletized, stretch-wrapped)

  • 500 kg / 1,000 kg jumbo bags

  • Molten bulk supply (ISO tank) on request

  • Storage: keep in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Maleic anhydride is moisture-sensitive and hydrolyzes to maleic acid — keep containers tightly sealed and away from water, oxidizers and strong bases.

Why XG Chem

  • Consistent premium-grade quality (≥99.5%), COA with every batch

  • Export-standard packaging and documentation (MSDS, COA, B/L)

  • Samples available for lab evaluation before bulk orders

  • Dedicated support on specification matching and batch data verification (COA / ICP-MS)
