What is maleic resin used for?

Before answering the specific uses of maleic resins, let's first learn about their specific properties, and types.

What is maleic resin?

Maleic resins, also known as maleic rosin esters or maleic acid resins, are polyester resins synthesized by esterification of maleic acid and polyols. It usually has a light color and is an important basic material in the chemical industry.

Maleic resin types and properties

Maleic acid resins mainly include the following types:

1. Diol maleic acid drunk resin: the commonly used diol is ethylene glycol, and an appropriate amount of phthalic acid drunk is often added during the esterification process to improve its brittleness.

2. Oil-modified glycerin maleic acid intoxicated resin: dry vegetable oil, phthalic anhydride and glycerin are added during esterification to improve its gelling properties.

3. Rosin Modified Glyceryl Maleic Acid Resin: It is made from the product of the reaction between rosin and glycerol and then reacted with maleic acid, and is characterized by transparency and light resistance.

Maleic Resin Uses (What is maleic resin used for?)

Maleic acid resin has a wide range of uses, especially in coatings, inks, plasticizers and other fields play an important role. The following is a detailed introduction of its main uses:

1. Coating Industry:

1-1. Wooden paint and top coat: rosin modified maleic acid resin is widely used in wooden paint and top coat because of its fast drying paint film, good water resistance, high hardness and not easy to turn yellow.

1-2. Magnetic spray paint and gravure printing ink: These resins are also suitable for the production of magnetic spray paint and gravure printing ink, which can improve the service life and appearance quality of the products due to its excellent abrasion resistance and thick film feeling.

2. Ink manufacturing:

Maleic acid resin is an important component in the manufacture of inks, which not only provides the viscosity and fluidity required by the ink, but also enhances the adhesion and abrasion resistance of the ink, making the printing effect clearer and longer lasting.

3. Plasticizer:

As a plasticizer, maleic acid resin can increase the flexibility and plasticity of plastics, improve the processing performance of plastics and the physical properties of final products.

4. Other Applications:

1. Maleic acid resin is also used in the production of pesticides, synthetic unsaturated polyester resins, tartaric acid, transbutylene diacid, succinic acid and other products.

2. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a preservative for oils and fats.

3. In food and printing and dyeing auxiliaries, maleic acid resin also plays an important role.

In addition, some special types of maleic acid resins, such as fumarized rosin polymers with formaldehyde, propanetriol, nonylphenol and pentaerythritol, have more unique properties and application areas.

Currently, iSuoChem's maleic acid resins are mainly used in the manufacture of coatings and inks, where their unique properties make the products more durable and aesthetically pleasing, promoting the rapid development of related industries.
