Sodium Benzoate Manufacturing process
Step 1: Raw Material Selection
- High-purity Benzoic Acid is selected and undergoes quality checks.
Step 2: Neutralization Process
- Benzoic Acid is neutralized with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) to form Sodium Benzoate.
Step 3: Filtration & Purification
- The solution is filtered and purified to remove impurities.
Step 4: Drying & Milling
- The product is dried and milled to achieve the desired particle size.
Step 5: Quality Control & Testing
- The final product is tested for assay, pH, moisture content, and purity as per IP/BP/USP standards.
Step 6: Packaging & Storage
- Packed in HDPE bags or fiber drums to prevent contamination.
- Stored in a cool, dry place for maintaining stability.
