Products Description of Benzoic acidCAS#65-85-0
Benzoic acid is the simplest aromaleic-anhydride.html">matic carboxylic acid. As a weak acid, it serves as a key building block for manufacturing numerous important organic chemicals. Over 90% of industrially produced benzoic acid is directly processed into phenol and caprolactam. Its application in manufacturing glycol benzoates used as plasticizers in adhesive systems is growing steadily.

Product Application of Benzoic acid CAS#65-85-0
Benzoic acid is a widely used food preservative. In acidic environments, it effectively inhibits molds, yeasts, and bacteria, though its effect on acid-producing bacteria is mild. The optimal pH range for antimicrobial activity is 2.5 to 4.0; a practical working pH range of 4.5 to 5.0 is commonly recommended.
