Two reactive handles
The C=C bond copolymerizes and the anhydride ring esterifies, so one raw material serves UPR, alquídico, rosin and copolymer chemistry.
MAMÁ
Anhídrido Maleico (MAMÁ) Supplier from China
Anhídrido maleico (MAMÁ) is the reactive building block for unsaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, maleic rosin and styrene–maleic anhydride copolymers, and an intermediate for agrochemicals such as malathion. SUNCHEM supplies MA to resin, coating and synthesis users with a batch COA on every shipment.

Descripción general del producto & beneficios clave
Maleic anhydride combines a reactive double bond with an anhydride group, so it can both copolymerize and esterify. In unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) it supplies the unsaturation that styrene later crosslinks; in alkyds, maleic rosin and coatings it adds acid functionality; with styrene it forms SMA copolymers. It is also the starting point for maleic and fumaric acid, succinic and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, anhídrido polimaleico, and pesticides such as malathion.
For resin makers, pureza, color and free maleic acid are the numbers that decide resin color and reactivity.
Sets resin reactivity
The MA share in a UPR recipe controls how much unsaturation styrene can crosslink, and with it the cured hardness and heat resistance.

Applications by Industry
Where maleic anhydride is used, and what to confirm before you switch supply.
Unsaturated polyester resins
The largest use. MA is esterified with glycols, often alongside phthalic or isophthalic anhydride, to give the unsaturated backbone that styrene crosslinks in FRP, gelcoats, artificial stone and putties.

Selección & comparación
Choosing the right MA grade
| Su requisito | Lo que normalmente funciona |
|---|---|
| General-purpose UPR and alkyd resins | Standard industrial-grade MA |
| Light-colored resins and gelcoats | Specify low color and free maleic-acid limits |
| Bagged charging into batch reactors | Solid MA — flakes, briquettes or pastilles |
| Reemplazo de un proveedor existente | Envíe su TDS o COA actual; Cotizamos contra los parámetros que usted apruebe. |
embalaje & almacenamiento
embalaje
Pack size depends on the form (flakes, briquettes or pastilles). Tell us your bag size and pallet requirements with your inquiry.
Almacenamiento
Keep bags closed in a cool, seco, ventilated store. Moisture turns MA into maleic acid, and the dust is a skin and respiratory sensitizer — follow the SDS.
Transport
Regulated for transport as a corrosive (Y 2215, Clase 8, PG III).
Desde el primer correo electrónico hasta el suministro aprobado
Name the resin or product
UPR, alquídico, rosin, copolymer or an intermediate: tell us which one, because color and maleic-acid limits differ.
Compara los números que importan
Pureza, color, free maleic acid, ash and iron. Solicite en nuestro COA los mismos parámetros que aparecen en su hoja de inspección entrante.
Proteger el material
MA picks up moisture. Check bag integrity on arrival and keep opened bags sealed, or the maleic-acid content will rise.

What is maleic anhydride used for?
Mainly for unsaturated polyester resins. It is also used in alkyd resins, colofonia maleica, SMA copolymers, anhídrido polimaleico, and as an intermediate for malathion, maleic acid, fumaric acid and succinic anhydride.
Which parameters should I compare between offers?
Pureza, color, free maleic acid, ash and iron. For light-colored resins, color and maleic acid usually matter most.
How should maleic anhydride be stored?
In closed bags in a cool, seco, ventilated store. It reacts with moisture to form maleic acid and is a skin and respiratory sensitizer, so follow the SDS for handling.
Is maleic anhydride dangerous goods?
Sí. It is regulated as a corrosive for transport under UN 2215, Clase 8, PG III.
