Sucrose benzoate is a small-molecule compound produced by the esterification of sucrose with benzoic acid (or its derivatives). It belongs to the family of benzoate esters and is classified as a fine chemical. It is primarily used as a plasticizer, modifier, or dispersant for polymer materials such as cellulose resins and PVC, improving their flexibility, gloss, adhesion, and abrasion resistance. This substance is widely used in UV coatings, inks, optical films, gel nail polish, and certain cosmetics, and can also be applied in food-contact packaging materials (in benzene-free solvent systems).
