Description
Maleic Anhydride, also known as MA，2,5-FURANDIONE，2,5-Furandione， Furan-2,5-dione， MaleicAnhydride， MALIEC ANHYDRIDE， Maleic anhydride， ANHYDRIDE MALEIC， TOXILIC ANHYDRIDE， Sodium n-amyl xanthate or Cis-Butenedioic anhydrides, a colorless, crystalline organic compound. With a pungent odor, it hydrolyzes in water to form maleic acid and is highly reactive, used primarily in chemical syntheses. It is used as a raw material for the production of 1, 4-butanediol, γ-butyrolactone, Tetrahydrofuran, succinic acid, unsaturated polyester resin, alkyd resin, etc., and is also used for pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
