Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Maleic anhydride
EC Number:
203-571-6
EC Name:
Maleic anhydride
Cas Number:
108-31-6
Molecular formula:
C4H2O3
IUPAC Name:
furan-2,5-dione
Details on test material:
Maleic anhydride. However, maleic anhydride hydrolyses under test conditions. As a result, it is believed that maleic acid and its salts were
the test materials investigated in this study.
