Maleic Anhydride Production Cost Reports

Maleic Anhydride production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Maleic Anhydride production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Maleic Anhydride. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Maleic Anhydride is a chemical intermediate, a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride that is maleic acid's cyclic anhydride. It is a cyclic dicarboxylic anhydride and a member of furans. It has the function of an allergen. It was conventionally made via the oxidation of benzene or other aromatic compounds but more recently gets produced using the method of vapour-phase oxidation of n-butane.

The chemical has high reactivity and appears to be colourless in many forms like crystalline needles, flakes, pellets, rods, briquettes, lumps or a fused mass. It has a molecular weight of 98.1 and is readily soluble in water and methanol. It has a melting and flash point of 113 °F and 218 °F, respectively. Its vapours, fumes and specks of dust can seriously cause irritation in the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It has an acrid, pungent, choking odour.

The demand for Maleic Anhydride is being propelled by its potential usage in almost every field of industrial chemistry. It finds use in the production of unsaturated polyester resin and in making products like pharmaceutics, coatings, agricultural products, surfactants, and as a plastic additive. It finds application in the production of paints, plastics and other chemicals.

It is used to formulate synthetic resins raw material (unsaturated polyesters); resin modifiers; paints and coatings; vinyl chloride stabilizers; agricultural chemicals; food additives (fumaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid); imides; paper sizing agents; surfactants; plasticizers; epoxy curing agents; resins and plastics; petroleum additives; agricultural and industrial chemicals; paper sizing; water treatment chemicals; artificial sweeteners; flavour enhancers; hair sprays; pharmaceuticals and copolymers etc., which is giving the market a further push.
