Frequently Asked Questions
What is maleic anhydride used for?
Maleic anhydride is a core raw material for polyester and alkyd resin synthesis, and an intermediate for maleate ester plasticizers such as DOM. Resin producers across South India buy it alongside phthalic anhydride and aromatic solvents, and we supply all three from stock in Chennai.
What is the CAS number and HSN code of maleic anhydride?
The CAS number of maleic anhydride is 108-31-6 and its HSN code is 2917 14 00. In the chemical trade it is abbreviated MA (also MAN); systematic names are cis-butenedioic anhydride and 2,5-furandione.
What specification does SPC's maleic anhydride meet?
Our material is certified to IS 5149:2020 on the manufacturer's certificate of quality: maleic anhydride content 99.2% mass min, maleic acid content 0.8% mass max, crystallizing point 52.1°C min, colour of molten material 20 APHA max, ash 0.005% mass max, and iron 10 ppm max. Appearance is white flakes with no visible impurities.
Where does SPC source its maleic anhydride?
We stock maleic anhydride from IG Petrochemicals Limited (IGPL), Taloja MIDC, Maharashtra — India's largest maleic anhydride manufacturer, ISO certified. We distribute it from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse across South India, as we have since 1997.
How is maleic anhydride packed, and how fast can SPC deliver in Chennai?
Maleic anhydride is traded as briquettes or flakes; we supply white flakes in 25 kg bags, with 25 kg cartons with PE liner and 1000 kg jumbo bags also available. Typical lead time is ex-stock to 5 working days from Redhills, Chennai — order sizes depend on packaging and current stock. Call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote.
What are the UN number and hazard class of maleic anhydride, and how should it be stored?
Maleic anhydride is UN 2215, Hazard Class 8 — corrosive solid (Packing Group III). It reacts with water to form maleic acid, so store it in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from moisture, oxidisers, and alkalis, and use gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection when handling.
