Sodium benzoate is widely used as a preservative in food, beverages, cosmetics, and industrial formulations. Bulk supply available for manufacturing and export markets.
Sodium benzoate is a preservative and antimicrobial agent, commonly applied in food, beverages, cosmetics, and industrial formulations. The sodium salt of benzoic acid appears as a white, odorless crystalline powder with excellent solubility in water.
It is especially effective in acidic environments, where it inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi—making it a critical ingredient in preservation systems.
