1. Use as a precursor to plasticizer:
Benzoic Acid is the ingredient needed in the production of Benzoate and Dibenzoate plasticizers. These plasticizers are mainly used in flooring, film, adhesives, and sealants.
Typical Benzoate plasticizers include Isodecyl Benzoate (IDB) and Isononyl Benzoate (INB). Common Dibenzoate plasticizers include Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate and Neopentylglycol Dibenzoate.
Although Phthalate plasticizers have been the most commonly used plasticizers in past decades, non-Phthalate plasticizers such as the Benzoates have been on the rise in recent years as regulatory bodies around the globe have come to realize the potential danger of Phthalates to human health.
2. Benzoic acid use as a feed additive
Pig farmers around the globe have been relying on Zinc Oxide to counter piglets' Post-Weaning Diarrhea (PWD) for decades. Yet Zinc Oxide's use has been restricted in recent years due to its severe environmental repercussions.
In face of the coming ban of Zinc Oxide in EU, and the growing restriction on its use globally, feed additive manufacturers have turned to Benzoic acid as an alternative,
either administered directly or applied with slow-releasing coatings, is effective in the prevention and mitigation of PWD.
It poses no harm to the environment due to its organic nature. Benzoic acid can also accelerate piglets' fattening process.
3.Use as a Food Preservative and a Precursor to other Benzoic Salt Preservatives:
Benzoic acid is a powerful anti-septic agent widely used in food and animal feed. However, due to its poor solubility, it is often more preferable to use its salts instead. Its Sodium salt, Calcium salt, and Potassium salt are among the most common food preservatives in the modern food industry.
