Potassium Benzoate Purity 99%

Potassium benzoate  widely used as food additives and preservatives. Its appearance is powder or crystal powder. It is Odorless or almost odorless, soluble in water and ethanol. Purity is more than 99%. 

The potassium benzoate formula is C7H5KO2, CAS NO.582-25-2In general , the most popular presevative is Sodium benzoate, but why we produce Potassium benzoate, because it also have potassium, it can supplement our health.

And potassium benzoate also can be as Firework material tweet agent in industrial.Potassium benzoate is stable at room temperature under normal storage conditions. 

Due to its slight hygroscopicity, it should be placed in a sealed container and should avoid exposure to high humidity and high temperature.

Advantages: 

• Antisepsis and Preservation

Potassium benzoate effectively extends the shelf life of food and pharmaceuticals while maintaining their quality and flavor by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. It is particularly suitable for use in foods such as fruit juices, jams, beverages, soy sauce, and vinegar, where it prevents food spoilage. 

• Antibacterial Action

Potassium benzoate exhibits certain antibacterial activity, capable of inhibiting the growth of various bacteria and reducing bacterial infections. Additionally, it is used in the pharmaceutical industry for disinfection, sterilization, and drug synthesis, helping to kill or suppress bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms on the skin's surface to prevent and treat skin infections and related diseases.  

• Antifungal Effect

Potassium benzoate interferes with the synthesis process of the fungal cell wall, causing structural damage and death, thus possessing antifungal properties. This makes potassium benzoate  applicable in agriculture for preparing pesticides and plant growth regulators to prevent and control crop diseases and insect pests.  

• Stable Chemical Properties

Potassium benzoate is highly soluble in water and ethanol, giving it good solubility and stability in various applications. However, it loses its bactericidal and bacteriostatic efficacy in alkaline media, while its effectiveness is enhanced in acidic media.
