It is an authorised food additive. release from fabrics, textiles during washing, removal of indoor paints), indoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. Availability food packaging and storage, toys, mobile phones). Benzoic acid is generally not used directly due to its poor water solubility. 215–540–4, is covered by three harmonisations: 005–011–00–4; 005–011–01–1 and 005–011–02–9), CLH information cannot be displayed in the InfoCard as the difference between the CLH classifications requires manual interpretation or verification. Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use: in the production of articles, in processing aids at industrial sites, as processing aid and as an intermediate step in further manufacturing of another substance (use of intermediates). machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners) and outdoor use as processing aid. This substance has not been registered under the REACH Regulation, therefore as yet ECHA has not received any data about this substance from registration dossiers. However, substance notifications in the InfoCard are aggregated independently of the impurities and additives. Welcome to the ECHA website. In that case, the ATP (Adaptation to Technical Progress) number is displayed. This substance can be found in products with material based on: plastic used for packaging (excluding food packaging), paper used for packaging (excluding food packaging) and plastic (e.g. Food Contact Regenerated Cellulose Directive - Authorised Substances, Substances of very high concern identification, Recommendation for the Authorisation List, Getting started with EU chemicals legislation, Classification of substances and mixtures, Harmonised classification and labelling (CLH). Sodium benzoate should be stored in closed bottles, as it's slightly hygroscopic, though keeping it in a dry chamber is sufficient. What is the Classification and Labelling Inventory? However the levels of benzene obtained are extremely small, and studies have shown that the concentration of benzene is well below the safety limit. Sodium benzoate has low toxicity and doesn't require special disposal. The InfoCard summarises the non-confidential data of a substance held in the databases of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The CLP Regulation ensures that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers in the European Union through classification and labelling of chemicals. This section is based on three sources for information (harmonised classification and labelling (CLH), REACH registrations and CLP notifications). The type of uses and classifications may vary between different submissions to ECHA and for a full understanding it is recommended to consult the source data. A substance may have its use restricted to certain articles or products and therefore not all the examples may apply to the specific substance. inside a watch) or with very low concentrations considered not to pose risks to human health or the environment. Information on applicable regulatory frameworks is also automatically generated and may not be complete or up to date. The EC Inventory is a combination of three independent European lists of substances from the previous EU chemicals regulatory frameworks (EINECS, ELINCS and the NLP-list). Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use: manufacturing of the substance. It has a solubility in water of 62.7 g/100 ml at standard conditions. Furthermore, some substances can be found in an article, but with unlikely exposure (e.g. Sodium benzoate is available as a food preservative, sold in sealed bags. Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid.It is an aromatic compound denoted by the chemical formula C7H5NaO2 with a molecular weight of 144.11. This list contains the substances and substance groups authorized by the EU in the manufacture of regenerated cellulose film intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. The REACH registered substance data and the C&L Inventory portal will be upgraded, and POPs Regulation data integrated from the 9th November. Substances listed in the EINECS, ELINCS, or NLP inventories. Sodium benzoate will react with sodium hydroxide to produce benzene: Small amounts of biphenyl and benzophenone will also be produced as side products. The source of the information is mentioned in the introductory sentence of the hazard statements. It has a solubility in water of 62.7 g/100 ml at standard conditions. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment) and outdoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g.
