What Is Benzoic Acid?

Benzoic acid, CAS 65-85-0, is an aromatic carboxylic acid used as a food and feed preservative, and as a raw material for sodium benzoate, plasticizers, alkyd resins and other chemicals.

Two grades are available: food grade with at least 99.5% assay on a dried basis, and technical grade with at least 98%. Each has its own impurity limits.

It is not regulated as dangerous goods under DOT, IMDG or IATA. Control dust and avoid eye and skin contact. Food use requires a grade and documents that meet the rules of the destination market.

As a benzoic acid supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the white crystalline powder or flakes in 25 kg lined woven bags. Lead time is about 14 days from order confirmation.
