Anhydride monomers in plastics typically appear as clear or slightly colored liquids. Key features include their ability to improve thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength of plastics. They are suitable for applications in coatings, adhesives, and engineering plastics, particularly valued for producing polymers like styrene maleic anhydride (SMA).
Alternatives to anhydride monomers include other reactive monomers like epoxides and isocyanates. Sub-types include maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride.

Maleic Anhydride by CarboQuimica is an additive anhydride. It is designed for chemical, textile, food, cosmetics, construction, infrastructure, multi-industry, oil & gas, home care and industrial cleaning. Due to its double bond, it is used in copolymers. Maleic Anhydride is suitable for alkyd resin, detergent, fiberglass, plastic wood, water treatment and masterbatch for PVC profiles.
Tetraethylammonium iodide by Alfa Chemistry is acrylic anhydride which is an anhydride monomer. Forms cyclic anhydrides on polymerization and does not produce crosslinks in polymers. Tetraethylammonium iodide is used to prepare specialty acrylate and acrylamide monomers.
Maleic anhydride (MA) by BCH is a monomer. It is recommended for the production of polymers, e.g. unsaturated polyester resins.
