MALEIC ANHYDRIDE
Connecting chemistry to applications
Maleic Anhydride Across Multiple Value Chains
- Production of MAN and derivatives from n-butane
- Integration with downstream technologies
- Reliable operation across a wide range of conditions
- Competitive OPEX
Maleic Anhydride (MAN) is a strategic C4-based intermediate that connects upstream chemistry with multiple downstream value chains.
Produced from n-butane, it provides the starting point for a broad range of derivatives and high-value products with applications across agriculture, construction, automotive, packaging, food, coatings, textiles, adhesives, lubricants and advanced industrial markets.
Industrial Applications of MAN
- Unsaturated polyester resins for composite materials
- Malic Acid (MAL) and Fumaric Acid (FAC)
- Special anhydrides, including Tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride (THPA) and Hexahydrophthalic Anhydride (HHPA)
- Intermediates for biodegradable polymer value chains
- Intermediates for solvents, polymers, elastomers and textile fibers
