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).

Pigment carrier for liquid inks. Especially when added to thermal printing inks, this product prevents wash-off and improves the ink's tack, water solubility, dispersibility, and emulsifiability.
Can be used as a plasticizer for solid inks, solid coatings, thermosetting powder coatings, and toners for thermal printing.
Can be used as a main additive in cosmetics (nail polish, rouge, lipstick, skin care and hair care products) to improve the gloss, film-forming property, adhesion, water resistance, abrasion resistance, and hardness of nail polish films, while reducing shrinkage and viscosity.
Can be used as a modifier, plasticizer, binder, tackifier, and dispersant for resins and polymeric materials such as methacrylates, cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, sulfonated polyesters, hydroxy polyesters, polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and arylsulfonamide-formaldehyde resin.
It can also be used for food contact packaging materials (free of benzene-based solvents).
