Benzoic acid is a high-purity carboxylic acid used as a food preservative, pharmaceutical intermediate, and industrial chemical across food, cosmetics, and manufacturing sectors. Its weak acidic nature (pKa 4.2) and antimicrobial properties effectively inhibit mold, yeast, and bacterial growth in acidic foods.
With melting point of 122°C and density 1.32 g/cm³, it serves as a precursor for sodium benzoate and various plasticizers. Industrial-grade white powder with 2-year shelf stability supports reliability in formulations requiring controlled acidity and preservative action.
| Sr. No. | Description | Specification |

| 1 | Purity | 99% minimum |
| 2 | Chemical Formula | C₇H₆O₂ |
| 3 | Form | White fine powder |
| 4 | Country of origin | India |
| 5 | Quantities | 25 kg and 50 kg bags, bulk options |
White crystalline powder with density approximately 1.32 g/cm³; melting point 122°C and boiling point 249°C.
Sparingly soluble in cold water (3.8 g/100 mL at 20°C); more soluble in hot water and organic solvents.
Weak carboxylic acid with pKa ~4.2; readily forms water-soluble salts with bases like sodium hydroxide.
Particle size 100–150 mesh; non-flammable, stable under normal conditions with low moisture (0.5% max).
Food preservative in acidic foods, beverages, and condiments, preventing mold and yeast growth.
Pharmaceutical intermediate for antibacterial ointments and topical medicinal preparations.
Chemical synthesis precursor for sodium benzoate, plasticizers, dyes, and other organic compounds.
Industrial additive in polymers, resins, cosmetics, and paint formulations for pH control and preservation.
Industrial grade with low ash and impurities; compliant with food and pharma standards.
Use with gloves and in ventilated areas; avoid inhalation of dust and skin contact.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from moisture and incompatible materials; stable for 2 years.
Non-toxic at food-approved levels; handle as per standard chemical safety protocols.
