Appearance of material:
Material applications:
- Used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), which is used in a wide range of industries such as yachts, baths, cars, tanks and pipes.
- Engine oil additive
- Production of copolymers
- Production of succinic, which, except for the use of engine oil additives, are used in paper coatings, detergents, as an epoxy hardener, and in leather polishes.
- Production of maleic acid, the main use of which is as a pH regulator and flavoring in the food industry and the production of fermented products.
- Production of fumaric acid so that about 33% of the world’s fumaric acid is used in the paper industry.
- In agricultural chemicals, including the production of pesticides such as maleic hydrazide and captan
- Production of butanediol, which is widely used as a solvent.
- Production of tetrahydrofuran, which is as solvent and is the raw material for making polyether glycols.
Material safety conditions:
- A cute (short-term) effects of exposure to Maleic anhydride in humans include eye, respiratory, and skin irritation, but no permanent damage.
- Chronic (long-term) effects on workers exposed to Maleic anhydride include conjunctival disease and irritation of the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
Material storage conditions:
- Store in a cool, dry place.
