AK Maleic Anhydride
Maleic anhydride
2.5 -Furandione
108-31-6
Overview : MA is mostly manufactured by the contact oxidation method between benzene and C4 oil. Major usage includes unsaturated polyester for houses and automobiles, fumaric acid for food and succinic acid.
Aekyung Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is not only contributing to the national economy with few natural resources but also preserving environment by not using benzene and C4 oil in manufacture of MA but instead collecting and refining by-products of PA.
Furthermore, through the constant research and increase of facility, Aekyung Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is manufacturing high quality products with low cost, thereby greatly contributing to cost reduction for customers.
( Source material: PA by-products, production capacity: 8,000 tons per year)
Usage
- Unsaturated polyester resin for house bathtubs, washstands and automobiles.
- Food, including fumaric acid and succinic acid
- Materials for 1.4 BDO for THF and PBT resin, Detergents and GBL for the secondary battery.
- Other usages include Paper Sizing Material, ink & paint
