E matuā lautele lava le fa'aoga o le maleic anhydride, e masani ona fa'aaogaina i le gaosiga o unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) (e fa'amalosia ma e le'i fa'amalosia), vali, vaitusi, palasitika fa'ainisinia, vaila'au, vaila'au fa'asaina iniseti, faiga pepa, mea fa'aopoopo ie, mea fa'aopoopo i mea'ai, mea fa'aopoopo i mea'ai a manu, ma mea fa'aopoopo i le suāu'u.
O vailaʻau e gaosia mai le maleic anhydride (e pei o le succinic acid, succinic anhydride, γ-butyrolactone, 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, L-aspartic acid, L-alanine) ma a latou vailaʻau lona lua (e pei o le PTMEG, PBT, PBS) o loʻo faʻaaogaina lautele i le taimi nei ma e le lava le sapalai i le maketi i totonu o le atunuʻu.

E pupula le maleic anhydride i le sili atu ona tali atu ma le tele o faʻaoga i le faʻasologa mulimuli—e fetaui lelei mo resins, vailaʻau faʻasaina, ma vali. Kiliki e faʻafesoʻotaʻi a matou fofo sapalai tele ua faʻapitoa nei!
