Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Benzocaine (Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate) is a highly lipophilic local anesthetic agent that predominantly circulates in global trade as a free base. Industrially, it is synthesized via a classic Fischer reflux esterification process utilizing para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and anhydrous ethanol. After a precise neutralization process, the free base precipitates as a fine, pure white crystalline powder suitable for diverse chemical formulations.

Performance & Equivalents

Engineered for superior performance, our Benzocaine serves as a highly stable, cost-effective drop-in replacement and premium equivalent for Lidocaine, Procaine in specific industrial formulations requiring lipophilic anesthetic properties. This high-purity compound is essential for manufacturers seeking reliable alternatives without compromising on efficacy or stability.

Key Applications

  • Adult & Family Planning Market: Serves as an irreplaceable active ingredient in the manufacturing of physical delay condoms and delay wipes, formulated into lubricants to reduce nerve sensitivity.
  • Aquaculture & Fish Transport: Used as a highly efficient, low-cost aquatic sleep-inducing anesthetic to calm fish during long-distance live transport, reducing oxygen consumption.
  • Cosmetics & Sports: Widely used in sports rehabilitation consumables and topical cosmetic applications for temporary relief.
