Petrochemical Process Technology for Maleic Anhydride
Improve Production with Our Technology.
Technobell offers state-of-the-art technology and products for the production of maleic anhydride based on a well-known catalyst for the oxidation of n-butane.
Our solutions are designed to provide reliable and high quality results.
A Multi-Purpose Ingredient.
Maleic anhydride is a vital component in various industries, including the production of resins, plastics, agricultural chemicals, petroleum additives, wetting agents, and textile chemicals. Its primary application, however, is in the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resins, where it plays a central role.
