Widely used as a preservative in food and beverages. It prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, mould, and yeast, thereby extending the shelf life of products such as fruit juices, soft drinks, sauces, and pickles. Its salts, such as sodium benzoate, are commonly used for this purpose.

Pharmaceutical Applications
In the formulation of topical creams and ointments. It has mild antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it useful in treating skin conditions such as eczema and fungal infections. It is also used in the production of some medicines and as an excipient in tablet formulations.

Chemical Synthesis
A key intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including benzoates, which are used as plasticisers, fragrances, and in the manufacture of other industrial products. It is also a precursor to the production of dyes, perfumes, and other aromatic compounds.

Cosmetic and Personal Care Products
In cosmetic and personal care products such as lotions, deodorants, and shampoos. It serves as a preservative and helps to maintain the stability and safety of these products. It also has mild antimicrobial properties, making it effective for use in products that require protection against bacterial and fungal contamination.

Laboratory Reagent
Particularly in organic chemistry. It is involved in the synthesis of a wide range of compounds, including esters, and is commonly used in titrations and other analytical methods.

Plasticiser Production
Used in the production of benzoate esters, which are employed as plasticisers in the manufacture of flexible plastics and resins. These plasticisers help improve the flexibility and durability of plastic materials used in a variety of products, from packaging to medical devices.

Industrial Applications
Including as a corrosion inhibitor in lubricants and oils. It also finds use in the production of certain types of synthetic resins and in the formulation of certain adhesives and coatings
