  • Applications

    Sodium Ferulate (CAS 24276-84-4) is the sodium salt of ferulic acid and is used as an antioxidant and stabilizer in a range of formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an antioxidant additive to improve formulation stability and preserve color. In polymers and plastics, coatings, and inks, it serves as a stabilizer and radical scavenger to enhance resistance to oxidation and durability. It also acts as an intermediate in pharmaceutical manufacturing, as a building block for ferulic acid derivatives. In perfumery, it may function as a fragrance ingredient or fixative due to its structural features and aroma potential. In food processing and packaging, it is evaluated for use as an antioxidant additive to extend shelf life, subject to regulatory approval.
