Technical Specifications
Benzoic Acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid that plays a significant role in many industries. As one of the key building blocks in chemical synthesis, it is used in the production of a wide range of products. In the chemical industry, Benzoic Acid is primarily a precursor for the production of benzoates, which are used as plasticizers in plastics, particularly in PVC. These plasticizers improve the flexibility and durability of plastics, which are used in products such as cables, films, and packaging.
In the food industry, Benzoic Acid is used as a preservative due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is commonly used in the preservation of foods and beverages to extend shelf life and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Benzoic Acid is frequently found in products such as juices, jams, and canned goods. Benzoic Acid also plays an important role in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the production of medications for treating skin infections or as an anti-inflammatory agent. It is also used in ointments and creams to soothe and care for the skin.
Additionally, Benzoic Acid is used in the fragrance industry as a precursor for the synthesis of perfumes, and in the cosmetics industry, where it is utilized in skincare products.
