Maleic Acid | 110-16-7

Description :

Overview of Maleic Acid

Maleic Acid is an important organic dicarboxylic acid widely used in resins, polymers, surface coatings, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemical manufacturing. Chemically, the maleic acid formula is C₂H₂(COOH)₂ or C₄H₄O₄, and the maleic acid IUPAC name is (Z)-but-2-enedioic acid, indicating its cis-configuration around the carbon–carbon double bond.

From a molecular perspective, the maleic acid structure consists of two carboxyl (-COOH) groups attached to a cis-alkene backbone, which gives the compound high reactivity and excellent solubility in water. The maleic acid molecular weight is approximately 116.07 g/mol. Maleic Acid appears as a white crystalline solid with a sharp acidic taste. It is identified in industrial documentation by the maleic acid CAS number 110-16-7.

Due to its high reactivity and compatibility with polymer systems, maleic acid uses are largely industrial.
