PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Product Description
BZA 99% Benzoic Acid is a high-purity aromatic organic acid supplied as white crystalline flakes. It is slightly soluble in water and is widely used as a functional raw material across food processing and a range of industrial manufacturing applications.
The material is commonly used as a preservative where the appropriate product grade and regulatory requirements are satisfied. It also serves as an industrial intermediate in the manufacture of selected chemical products, including dyes, pharmaceutical ingredients, fragrances, mordants, plasticizers, and related specialty materials.
In resin applications, Benzoic Acid can be used as a modifying ingredient in polyamide and alkyd resin systems. It is also utilized in selected industrial corrosion-control applications for steel equipment.
The referenced technical-grade specification controls purity, melting point, chloride content, color, heavy metals, arsenic, loss on drying, and acid-dissolution appearance. Final suitability should be evaluated according to the intended application, required grade, applicable regulations, and supplier-specific technical documentation.
