Maleic Resin
Description:
Maleic resin is a synthetic polymer derived from maleic anhydride, used in various applications due to its excellent adhesion, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
Properties:
1. Appearance: Amber to dark brown liquid or solid
2. Molecular weight: 500-50,000 Da
3. Solubility: Soluble in water, organic solvents
4. Viscosity: 100-10,000 mPa.s
5. Melting point: 100-200°C (212-392°F)
Types:
1. Maleic Anhydride Resin
2. Maleic Acid Resin
3. Modified Maleic Resin (e.g., esterified, alkylated)
Uses:
1. Adhesives (paper, textile, construction)
2. Coatings (paints, varnishes, primers)
3. Plastics (PVC, PE, PP modifiers)
4. Rubber (tire, belt, hose applications)
5. Water treatment (flocculants, coagulants)
Applications:
1. Paper sizing and coating
2. Textile finishing (wrinkle resistance, water repellency)
3. Construction adhesives (flooring, roofing)
4. Automotive coatings (primer, topcoat)
5. Industrial coatings (metal, wood)
