maleic anhydride
Unsaturated cyclic diacid
Maleic anhydride is a chemical compound used in manufacturing plastics, resins, and coatings.
It appears as a white crystalline solid with a pungent odor.
The compound serves as a building block in polyester resins, agricultural chemicals, and food additives.
In industrial chemistry, it's produced by oxidizing benzene or butane.
