Benzoic Acid

 Benzoic Acid is a white crystalline solid with a faint, pleasant odor, classified as a simple aromatic carboxylic acid. It is widely used as a food preservative, antimicrobial agent, and chemical intermediate. Naturally occurring in many plants, it is commercially produced through oxidation of toluene or extraction from natural sources. Benzoic acid is valued for its ability to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and certain bacteria, making it essential in food preservation and cosmetic formulations. It also serves as a precursor in the manufacture of various pharmaceuticals, dyes, and plasticizers.

Carnauba Wax Prime Yellow

Original price was: $ 18.11.Current price is: $ 17.12.
Carnauba Wax Prime Yellow, also known as Type 1 or Prime Yellow Grade, is the highest quality and purest form of carnauba wax derived from the leaves of the Copernicia cerifera palm tree, native to Brazil. It is a natural, vegetable-based wax prized for its exceptional hardness, high gloss, high melting point, and emulsification properties. Prime Yellow grade represents the finest classification, characterized by its light yellow to pale amber color, low impurities, and superior film-forming characteristics. It is obtained through a meticulous process of harvesting, drying, and processing the palm leaves to extract the waxy coating, which is then refined and graded. Carnauba Wax is often referred to as the "Queen of Waxes" due to its unique combination of properties unmatched by synthetic alternatives. Technical grade Carnauba Wax Prime Yellow is used across numerous industries for its ability to impart gloss, hardness, slip resistance, and moisture barrier properties. It is not intended for direct food consumption but is widely used in food-contact applications such as coatings and packaging.

Potassium Iodide USP

Original price was: $ 50.00.Current price is: $ 47.50.
Potassium Iodide USP is a high-purity inorganic halogenated salt that meets the strict quality and purity standards of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). It appears as white crystalline granules or powder, is odorless, and has a characteristic saline taste. This pharmaceutical-grade compound is valued for its ability to act as a source of iodide ions, its high solubility in water, and its stability when properly stored. It is slightly hygroscopic and may become yellow upon prolonged exposure to air due to liberation of iodine, with light and moisture accelerating decomposition, requiring careful packaging and storage. Potassium Iodide USP is manufactured under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and is suitable for human pharmaceutical applications, nutritional supplements, and other uses requiring the highest purity standards.

Potassium Metabisulphite Food Grade


Potassium Metabisulphite Food Grade is a white crystalline powder with strong antioxidant and preservative properties. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a disinfectant, antioxidant, and preservative to prevent spoilage and microbial growth. It also acts as a bleaching agent and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) source. This compound is critical in winemaking, brewing, and food processing to maintain product quality and extend shelf life.

Propylparaben (Prop BH)

$ 1.00
Prop BH, also known as Propylparaben or Propyl 4-Hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound belonging to the paraben family of preservatives. It appears as colorless small crystals or a white crystalline powder with a characteristic mild odor and a slightly bitter taste. The compound is practically insoluble in cold water but readily soluble in alcohols, ethers, and other organic solvents. Propylparaben is widely recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, particularly effective against molds, yeasts, and bacteria. Propylparaben is manufactured for use as a preservative in various industrial applications and is not intended for direct human consumption without appropriate certification.
