What is Benzoic Acid? Benzoic Acid (chemical formula C₆H₆COOH) is a colourless crystalline solid that is widely used in various chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. It is used as a preservative in food and beverages, a precursor to various chemicals, and in pharmaceutical formulations. Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport. Frequent Uses Chemical Synthesis A key intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including benzoates, which are used as plasticisers, fragrances, and in the manufacture of other industrial products. Laboratory Reagent Particularly in organic chemistry. It is involved in the synthesis of a wide range of compounds, including esters, and is commonly used in titrations and other analytical methods. Plasticiser Production Used in the production of benzoate esters, which are employed as plasticisers in the manufacture of flexible plastics and resins. These plasticisers help improve the flexibility and durability of plastic materials used in a variety of products, from packaging to medical devices.
