SPECIALTY ADDITIVES & BUILDING BLOCKS

MALEIC ANHYDRIDE 

Organic anhydride obtained by the transformation of benzene or normal butane through the use of catalysts (catalytic oxidation process). It is primarily used as a raw material for the production of unsaturated polyester resins, additives for lubricating oils, copolymers for water treatment, solvents and esters.

PHTALIC ANHYDRIDE 

Organic anhydride obtained by the transformation of ortoxilene through the use of catalysts (catalytic oxidation process). It is primarily used to produce plasticizers and different types of unsaturated polyester and alkyd resins.

TRIMELLITIC ANHYDRIDE 

Organic anhydride obtained by a process of transformation of pseudocumene through the use of catalysts (catalytic oxidation process). It is primarily used for the production of plasticizers, polyester powder coatings, polyester-imide resins, water soluble alkyd resins and enamels for electrical cables insulation.
