Maleic Resin

High-reactivity resin modified with maleic anhydride, providing excellent hardness, gloss, and adhesion — ideal for quick-drying industrial coatings, inks, and adhesives.

Features

Overview

NIR Global Maleic Modified Resin is a high-performance resin developed by modifying natural oils and polyols with maleic anhydride.
This modification enhances the resin’s film hardness, gloss, and drying properties, while improving resistance to water, alkali, and solvents.
It offers excellent compatibility with nitrocellulose, alkyds, and phenolic resins, making it suitable for industrial coatings, printing inks, and adhesives requiring strong adhesion and fast curing.
