Benzaldehyde
Benzoic aldehyde, phenylmethanal · CAS 100-52-7
Benzaldehyde oxidises to benzoic acid in storage, so the peroxide value and the free acid content are the two parameters that predict whether a drum will still meet specification after three months in a port warehouse.
We ship nitrogen-blanketed drums for long routes and recommend a stability check at receipt. Chlorine-free grade is available for routes where the toluene chlorination route's carry-over matters.
