Established Industry Leader in Sodium Benzoate Manufacturing
Official Website: www.tengerchemical.com
Sodium Benzoate (chemical formula: C7H5NaO2) is the sodium salt of benzoic acid. This white crystalline powder serves as a highly effective preservative across multiple industries. The production of sodium benzoate for sale has increased significantly as manufacturers seek efficient preservation solutions that comply with international safety standards.
When dissolved in water, sodium benzoate acid converts to benzoic acid, which exhibits strong antimicrobial properties. This conversion is pH-dependent, with optimal effectiveness between pH 2.5-4.0, making it especially valuable in acidic food products. The global market for sodium benzoate for food preservation continues to expand annually at 4.8% CAGR.
Sodium Benzoate is a white, crystalline powder that is widely used as a preservative in the food and beverage industry. It is also commonly utilized in pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and various industrial applications.
Product Specifications: FCC Grade, BP/USP/EP Compliant, Kosher and Sodium Benzoate Halal Certified
Packaging Options: 25kg bags, 1000kg supersacks, customized packaging

Sodium benzoate acid is widely employed as a preservative in food products where low pH environments exist. Common applications include:
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, sodium benzoate serves multiple functions:
The antimicrobial properties of sodium benzoate make it ideal for:
Outside consumer products, sodium benzoate serves industrial purposes:
A: Properly stored sodium benzoate has a shelf life of 36-48 months. Packaging should be in moisture-proof polyethylene bags within fiber drums to prevent caking and degradation.
A: Sodium benzoate exhibits excellent compatibility with potassium sorbate, creating synergistic antimicrobial effects. This combination is particularly effective in acidic foods, allowing lower concentrations of both preservatives to be used.
A: Sodium Benzoate Halal certification is available through internationally recognized bodies including IFANCA, JAKIM, and MUIS. Our production facility implements segregation protocols to ensure halal compliance throughout manufacturing and packaging.
A: We offer multiple particle size distributions: Standard Grade (80% min passing 40 mesh), Fine Powder (95% min passing 100 mesh), and Micronized Grade (D50: 15-25μm). Specialized sizes can be produced based on application requirements.
A: Sodium benzoate acid activity is highly pH-dependent. Maximum effectiveness occurs below pH 4.0 where it exists primarily as undissociated benzoic acid. At pH 6.0, effectiveness reduces by approximately 95%, making it unsuitable for neutral or alkaline products.
A: Regulatory limits vary: CODEX permits 100-2000mg/kg depending on food category, EU regulation (EC No 1333/2008) allows 150-6000mg/kg, while FDA sets limits at 0.1% for most foods. Beverages typically contain 0.03-0.05% sodium benzoate.
A: Sodium benzoate exhibits excellent thermal stability. Decomposition begins at approximately 300°C. At standard food processing temperatures (pasteurization at 80-100°C), decomposition is negligible (less than 0.5%).
