There are many types of maleic anhydride grafts, and the industry has broad room for development.

Maleic anhydride graft is a polymer obtained by grafting maleic anhydride with other materials under appropriate temperature conditions. The working principle of maleic anhydride grafts is that under the action of high temperature and screw shear, the anhydride group can undergo a dehydration reaction with the polar group (-NH2, -OH) and form a chemical bond, thus combining the incompatible polar and non-incompatible Polar substances undergo chemical coupling.

The maleic anhydride graft has both a polar aldehyde group and an olefinic non-polar segment. It is chemically bonded with polymers and fillers to achieve the best combination of strength and toughness. Maleic anhydride grafts have good adsorption capacity for polar substances and are widely used in hot melt adhesives, multi-layer film co-extrusion, powder coatings, wire and cable masterbatch, wood plastics, and PA/PP/PE modification.

The grafting methods of maleic anhydride grafts mainly include solution method, melting method, radiation method and solid phase method, among which the melting method is the mainstream grafting method. The grafting rate is one of the core technical indicators of maleic anhydride grafts, and its level directly affects the performance of maleic anhydride grafts.

Compared with untreated materials, maleic anhydride grafts have achieved certain improvements in impact resistance, thermal stability, weather resistance, adhesion, etc. In recent years, thanks to the upgrading of market demand and the advancement of grafting technology , the types of maleic anhydride grafted products are increasingly abundant, including maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene, maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene, maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin elastomer, maleic anhydride grafted PP wax, etc.

According to the “2023-2028 China Maleic Anhydride Graft Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 shows that there are many types of maleic anhydride grafts with a wide range of application fields, and the overall market size is growing. In 2022, the global maleic anhydride grafts market will be approximately 8.20 billion yuan. It is expected that from 2023 to 2027, the global maleic anhydride grafts market will grow The market for lytic anhydride grafts will grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4.5%.
