Sodium benzoate with the CAS Number 532-32-1 has the chemical formula NaC₇H₅O₂; it is also called BENZOTRON(R); BENZOIC ACID SODIUM SALT; FEMA 3025; SODIUM BENZOATE; PUROX S; NATRII BENZOAS; antimol; benzoansodny. Sodium benzoate is a widely used food preservative, with E number E211. It is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and exists in this form when dissolved in water. It can be produced by reacting sodium hydroxide with benzoic acid. Though benzoic acid is a more effective preservative, it isn’t very soluble in cold water compared to sodium benzoate which dissolves easily in water.

Physical properties about Sodium benzoate are: (1)ACD/LogP: 1.895; (2)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): 0.58; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): -0.98; (4)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 1.00; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 1.00; (6)ACD/KOC (pH 5.5): 12.43; (7)ACD/KOC (pH 7.4): 1.00; (8)#H bond acceptors: 2; (9)#H bond donors: 1; (10)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 1; (11)Flash Point: 111.4 °C; (12)Enthalpy of Vaporization: 51.4 kJ/mol; (13)Boiling Point: 249.3 °C at 760 mmHg; (14)Vapour Pressure: 0.0122 mmHg at 25°C

Preparation of Sodium benzoate: Sodium benzoate is created by adding benzoic acid to a hot concentrated solution of sodium carbonate until effervescence ceases. The solution is then evaporated, cooled and allowed to crystallize or evaporate to dryness, and then granulated.

Uses of Sodium benzoate: Sodium benzoate (CAS NO.532-32-1) is a preservative. It is bacteriostatic and fungistatic under acidic conditions. It is used most prevalently in acidic foods such as salad dressings (vinegar), carbonated drinks (carbonic acid), jams and fruit juices (citric acid), pickles (vinegar), and condiments. Besides, it is also used in fireworks as a fuel in whistle mix, a powder which emits a whistling noise when compressed into a tube and ignited.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
1. Avoid contact with skin and eyes;
2. Wear suitable protective clothing;
3. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice;
