Sodium Methylparaben is the sodium salt of methylparaben. It is used as a chemical preservative in different industrial operations. It helps in improving the shelf-life of food, medicines, and cosmetics on a large scale. It is utilized for producing cosmetics and medications in the pharmaceutical industry. The compound is used as an additive that can be added to the formulation of personal care products, including liquid soaps and cleansers.
It is used as a preservative in different other personal care products, including body cleansers, hair care products, oral care and styling products. It is a non-toxic chemical that is used in pharmaceutical products as well. It is used to produce medications, including calcitriol, methoxsalen, olanzapine, temozolomide, etc. Also, it is used as an additive and preservative in the preparation of food products, including baked items such as cakes, cookies, etc.
Industrial Sodium Methylparaben procurement is influenced by its demand as a chemical preservative in different sectors, including the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Its wide-range application as a chemical preservative in the preparation of food and beverage varieties, including baked food, dairy products, confectionaries, and drinks, drives its demand in the market. Its usage in the formulation of cosmetics, skincare, and personal care products fuels its demand in the cosmetics industry. It is a well-known, non-toxic additive that helps in increasing the shelf-life of medications, and hence, its usage in the production of medicines boosts its demand in the healthcare sector. Thus, the developments in these factors directly influence its procurement globally.
Raw Material for Sodium Methylparaben Production
According to the Sodium Methylparaben production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Methylparaben include p-hydroxybenzoic Acid-Methanol-Sulfuric Acid-Sodium Hydroxide.
Production Process of Sodium Methylparaben
The extensive Sodium Methylparaben production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From p-Hydroxybenzoic Acid, Methanol, Sulfuric Acid, and Sodium Hydroxide: The production process of Sodium Methylparaben consists of several steps. First, p-hydroxybenzoic acid reacts with methanol in the presence of an acidic medium, such as sulfuric acid, forming methylparaben as an intermediate. This intermediate is then treated with sodium hydroxide that goes through saponification, followed by crystallization to obtain Sodium Methylparaben as the final product.
Sodium Methylparaben has a chemical formula C8H7NaO3, and its molecular weight is 174.13 g/mol. Its density is 1.3 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 °C. It is a white-colored powder with no odor; it is hygroscopic in nature and absorbs moisture when exposed to the air. Its pH ranges between 9 to 10, and its melting point is in the range 125 °C to 128 °C. It freely dissolves in water, and it is moderately soluble in alcohols, such as ethanol. However, the compound is highly insoluble in methylene chloride.
