Description

Distillates, Petroleum, Steam-Cracked/ Maleic Anhydride is a specialized chemical product derived from the steam-cracking of petroleum distillates, serving as a key intermediate for the production of maleic anhydride. This material is critical for industrial synthesis, offering a reactive platform for creating polymers, resins, and fine chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and agricultural chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-purity feedstocks.

Application

• Primary feedstock for the commercial production of maleic anhydride via catalytic oxidation processes.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) used in fiberglass-reinforced plastics for automotive and marine applications.
• Key raw material for manufacturing fumaric acid, malic acid, and other food acidulants and additives.
• Production of alkyd resins and surface coatings, providing enhanced durability and chemical resistance.
• Manufacture of lubricant additives, such as succinimides, which improve engine performance and reduce deposits.
• Precursor for agricultural chemicals, including pesticides and plant growth regulators.
• Used in the synthesis of copolymers for applications in textiles, paper sizing, and water treatment chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Distillates, Petroleum, Steam-Cracked/ Maleic Anhydride is produced and handled under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent composition, reactivity, and suitability as a feedstock for maleic anhydride production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as hydrocarbon profile, olefin content, and impurity levels are provided to guarantee supply reliability and process performance for our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and flammable nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use and ground all equipment. Incompatible with strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature: below 25°C (77°F).
