Maleic anhydride–modified polypropylene wax, also known as maleic anhydride–grafted polypropylene wax (MAH-g-PPW), is a functional material produced by chemically grafting polar maleic anhydride groups onto the polymer chains of polypropylene wax. This modification significantly enhances its interfacial compatibility and adhesion with polar substrates such as nylon, glass fiber, and inorganic fillers. Combining the low melting point and excellent flowability of polypropylene wax with the high reactivity of maleic anhydride, MAH-g-PPW finds wide application in polymer composites, adhesives, coatings, packaging films, and textile processing. It effectively improves filler dispersion, boosts the mechanical strength of composites, and enhances coating adhesion, while also being compatible with eco-friendly waterborne systems and suitable for upgrading recycled plastics. As such, MAH-g-PPW is a key additive for expanding the functional applications of nonpolar polymers.
The global demand for maleic anhydride–grafted polypropylene wax (MAH-g-PPW) has been steadily rising, with key markets in North America, Europe, and Asia. North America leads in R&D and application technologies, focusing on high-end functional additives; Europe emphasizes environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions, prioritizing low-VOC and biodegradable formulations; and Asia—especially China—has become the main driver of MAH-g-PPW capacity expansion and consumption growth in recent years, thanks to integrated refining projects and booming polymer modification demand. Overall, as downstream applications continue to expand, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to further increase its market share.
MAH-g-PPW is widely used across polymer modification, adhesives and sealants, coatings and inks, and textile and fiber processing. In polymer modification, it enhances compatibility and processability; in adhesives and sealants, it improves adhesion strength and sealing performance; in coatings and inks, it boosts coating adhesion and gloss; and in textile and fiber processing, it increases softness and abrasion resistance. It also finds applications in rubber products, packaging materials, and more. By application, polymer modification held the largest share at approximately 44.76% in 2024, with a projected CAGR of about 5.98% over the coming years. The continual expansion of these end-use sectors offers broad development opportunities for the MAH-g-PPW market.
