Sodium Benzoate | Premium Preservative & Corrosion Inhibitor | CAS 532-32-1
Overview
Sodium Benzoate, globally designated as food additive E211, is a white, crystalline chemical compound widely celebrated for its powerful antimicrobial properties. Highly soluble in water, it effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi in acidic environments (pH < 4.5). Beyond its dominance in safeguarding the shelf life of the world’s most popular foods and beverages, it is also a highly effective corrosion inhibitor utilized in automotive engine coolants and industrial water systems.
Product Description
Sodium Benzoate, globally designated as food additive E211, is a white, crystalline chemical compound widely celebrated for its powerful antimicrobial properties. Highly soluble in water, it effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi in acidic environments. Beyond its dominance in safeguarding the shelf life of the world's most popular foods and beverages, it is also a highly effective corrosion inhibitor utilized in automotive engine coolants.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2011, we supply massive commercial volumes of Ultra-High Purity Sodium Benzoate to multinational food & beverage conglomerates and automotive chemical manufacturers. Shipped globally as safe Non-Dangerous Goods, our Sodium Benzoate strictly complies with BP, USP, and FCC standards. We offer both standard powder and advanced dust-free extruded forms to optimize your production environment.
For food and pharmaceutical applications, stringent control of heavy metals and purity is mandatory. Typical specifications:
| Purity / Assay | 99.0% - 100.5% |
|---|---|
| Loss on Drying | ≤ 1.5% |
| Heavy Metals (as Pb) | ≤ 10 ppm |
| Arsenic (As) | ≤ 3 ppm |
| Solubility | Highly soluble in water |
- Food & Beverage (E211): The world's most trusted preservative for acidic foods. Prolongs the shelf life of carbonated drinks, juices, and sauces by preventing yeast and mold proliferation.
- Automotive Antifreeze: Acts as a powerful corrosion inhibitor. Protects engine metals (iron/steel) from rust and degradation in water-glycol cooling systems.
- Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Utilized as a safe antimicrobial preservative in cough syrups, mouthwashes, and water-based cosmetics.
- Industrial Plastics: Serves as a nucleating agent for polypropylene (PP), improving the clarity of molded plastics.
For large-scale food & beverage bottling plants, utilizing standard Sodium Benzoate powder can create severe airborne dust issues, causing respiratory discomfort for workers and complicating factory clean-up. Yinglang Chemical specifically offers Extruded (Noodle/Granular) Sodium Benzoate. This advanced physical form ensures a 100% dust-free dumping process, faster dissolution rates in mixing tanks, and a significantly cleaner, safer manufacturing environment without altering the chemical efficacy of the preservative.
As a highly stable, non-toxic solid, we offer cost-effective and secure bulk packaging for global ocean transit:
- 25 KG Multi-wall Kraft paper bags with food-grade PE inner liners.
- 25 KG Heavy-duty PP woven bags.
- 1000 KG Jumbo Bags (FIBC) for continuous automotive coolant or plastics compounding.
