Benzoic Acid (CAS 65-85-0) is an important organic compound widely used as a preservative, antimicrobial agent, and chemical intermediate. It effectively inhibits the growth of fungi, bacteria, and molds, and is commonly applied in pharmaceuticals, food preservation, and cosmetic formulations. In industrial fields, benzoic acid plays a key role in the production of synthetic fibers, resins, coatings, rubber additives, and tobacco processing agents.
Historically, benzoic acid was derived from the dry distillation of gum benzoin or hydrolysis of hippuric acid. Modern industrial production mainly relies on the catalytic air oxidation of toluene using cobalt or manganese catalysts, or by hydrolysis and decarboxylation of phthalic anhydride. Benzoic acid and its sodium salts are also widely used as bacteriostats in latex, toothpaste, jam, and other food products. Topfine provides high-quality benzoic acid suitable for industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.
