🟩 1. Source & Production
Benzoic Acid is an organic acid produced industrially by the oxidation of toluene or extracted from natural sources such as cranberries and prunes. Our food-grade benzoic acid is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure high purity and compliance with international safety standards.
🟩 2. Functional Properties
Benzoic Acid is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, especially effective under acidic conditions (pH < 4.5). It inhibits the growth of mold, yeast, and certain bacteria, making it ideal for food preservation. It also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of plasticizers, alkyd resins, and pharmaceuticals.
🟩 3. Product Grades & Characteristics
Fine Powder (20–100 μm)
– Rapid dissolution, high surface reactivity
– Suitable for liquid food applications and pharmaceutical suspensions
– Moderate dust level
Granular Grade (0.2–1.0 mm)
– Excellent flowability
– Controlled release (5–15 min) in water
– Ideal for dry-blend formulations, feed, and seasonings
Coarse Grade (0.8–2.5 mm)
– Low dust, free-flowing in silos/hoppers
– Slow-release (20–40 min), pH-stable behavior
– Preferred for industrial and polymer applications
🟩 4. Applications
