Truly, Maleic Anhydride and its stereoisoiixer Fumaric Acid are two of the most active and least explored of the lowpriced, mass-produced organic chemicals. These "chemical twins" are ideal building blocks in chemical synthesis· Their structures are such that, under suitable conditions, any atom in the molecule can he induced to react. The unsaturated ethylenic double-bond, enhanced, by two adjacent carbonyl groups, can undergo almost any reaction characteristic of unsaturated organic compounds. Basic material for Alkyd resins and cnaleiixized drying oils. National Maleic Anhydride also has valuable uses in organic pigments, rubber, deemulsifying agents, oil additives, pharmaceuticals, tanning agents, abrasives, cellophane, etc., etc. But its reactive possibilities are far from fully explored. As the leading producer of Maleic Anhydride and other chemicals of the Maleyl group, National Aniline welcomes inquiries for technical data and samples tkattnay develop wider use of these versatile chemicals.
