Sodium Salicylate CAS 54-21-7

The sodium salt of salicylic acid, with the chemical formula C₇H₅NaO₃. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder or flakes with a faint, characteristic odor and a sweetish, saline taste. Highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. Commonly used as a preservative and antiseptic agent in food, beverages, and personal care products. Also functions as a corrosion inhibitor in certain industrial coolants and lubricants, as well as a masking agent in rubber processing. Stable under normal conditions but may discolor upon prolonged exposure to light or moisture.
