Maleic Anhydride Applications
Maleic anhydride is widely used as an industrial chemical intermediate in resin production and in the manufacture of downstream chemicals. Major application areas include unsaturated polyester resins, coatings, lubricant additives, paper chemicals and other chemical derivatives.
Unsaturated Polyester Resins
Maleic anhydride is an important raw material for the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR). These resins are widely used in fiberglass-reinforced composites for construction, automotive components, marine products, tanks, pipes and molded products.
Resins, Coatings and Paints
Maleic anhydride is used in the manufacture and modification of alkyd and polyester resins for coatings and paint applications.
Lubricant Additives
Maleic anhydride is also used as a chemical intermediate in the production of lubricant additives, including dispersants and corrosion-control additives used in automotive and industrial lubricant formulations.
Paper Sizing and ASA Production
Maleic anhydride can be used in the production of alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), an intermediate widely used as a sizing agent in the paper industry.
Chemical Intermediates and Derivatives
As a versatile chemical building block, maleic anhydride is used in the manufacture of various downstream products and intermediates, including fumaric acid, malic acid, copolymers, surfactants, plasticizers and selected agrochemical intermediates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request flakes or briquettes?
Please indicate your preferred form, flakes or briquettes, when requesting a quotation.Availability of the requested form will be confirmed together with the offer.
Can I review a COA before ordering, and will the shipment have its own COA?
Yes. A representative COA can be provided before order confirmation for specification review. The corresponding batch-specific COA is provided with the confirmed shipment.
Can you arrange third-party inspection before shipment?
Yes. Third-party inspection can be arranged when required. Inspection requirements should preferably be confirmed before the order is finalized.
Is REACH documentation available for maleic anhydride?
Manufacturer REACH registration documentation is available on request. The registration is associated with the manufacturing source rather than Sinoright itself.
How can I get the current maleic anhydride price per ton?
Maleic anhydride pricing depends on current availability, quantity, form, destination, Incoterm and market conditions. Please provide your purchasing requirements for a current quotation.
