Product Overview:
CAS #: 532-32-1
Sodium benzoate (powder and granular) is a widely used preservative and corrosion inhibitor found across food, beverage, and vehicle applications. It is commonly employed in food and beverage products to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria, extending shelf life in acidic formulations such as soft drinks, juices, and condiments. Additionally, it serves as a corrosion inhibitor in automotive antifreeze and engine coolant formulations, protecting metal components from rust and oxidation.
