Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPR)

The largest application, accounting for roughly 50-55% of global usage. It is used to produce fiberglass-reinforced plastics for boats, automobiles, bathroom fixtures, and structural building panels.

Alkyd Resins & Coatings

Used in the manufacture of alkyd resins to improve drying speed, hardness, and adhesion in paints, industrial coatings, and varnishes.

Lubricating Oil Additives

Used in the production of succinimide dispersants for gasoline and diesel crankcase oils, which reduce corrosion and improve oil efficiency.

Chemical Intermediates

Acts as a feedstock for producing

1,4-Butanediol (BDO)

A precursor to plastics and elastic fibers like Spandex.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) & ϒ-Butyrolactone (GBL)

Used in solvents and engineering plastics.

Fumaric Acid & Malic Acid

Used in food additives to enhance flavor and as preservatives.

Succinic Acid

Used in chemical synthesis

Agriculture (Agrochemicals)

Serves as a raw material for synthesizing pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, such as malathion.

Polymer Modification

Used as a graft polymer for modifying polymers (e.g., polypropylene) to improve adhesive properties, compatibility in blends, and impact resistance.

Paper and Textile Treatment

Used in paper sizing agents to control water absorption and as a coating agent in the textile industry to improve fabric strength and color fastness.

Personal Care Products

Found in copolymers for hair sprays, floor polishes, and adhesives due to its ability to form films and stabilize formulations
