Maleic anhydride

Maleic anhydride, also known as anhydrous malic anhydride, maleic anhydride, maleic anhydride, is an acid anhydride of maleic acid. It is a white crystal with a strong pungent odor at room temperature. The chemical formula is C4H2O3.
chemical properties
Maleic anhydride hydrolyzed to maleic acid (cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2H); 1:1 alcoholysis to monoester cis-HO2CCH=CHCO2CH3; used as dienophile in Diels-Alder reaction; Valence metal coordination, examples of complexes such as Pt(PPh3)2(MA) and Fe(CO)4(MA).
The main purpose
Mainly used as raw materials for the production of unsaturated polyester resin, alkyd resin, pesticide malathion, high-efficiency and low-toxic pesticide 4049, long-acting iodine amine, etc.

Packaging, storage and transportation
Transportation Precautions: The packaging should be complete and the loading should be secure at the time of departure. During transportation, make sure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall or be damaged.
