Dibasic sodium phosphate dodecahydrate PARENTEX PLUS – Multifunctional phosphate system for pharmaceutical, food and water treatment applications
1. General Introduction to Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate PARENTEX PLUS
Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate PARENTEX PLUS is an inorganic sodium phosphate salt with the chemical formula Na₂HPO₄·12H₂O, appearing as a white crystalline solid that is odorless and fully soluble in water.
According to international pharmacopoeias such as USP–NF and Ph.Eur., this compound is classified as a pharmaceutical excipient, primarily functioning as a buffering agent and pH adjuster in a wide range of formulation systems. The phosphate buffer system (NaH₂PO₄ / Na₂HPO₄) is one of the most important biological buffering systems due to its pKa₂ ≈ 7.2, which is close to human physiological pH (7.35–7.45). Therefore, it is extensively used in pharmaceutical, biochemical, and molecular biology applications.
Dibasic Sodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate PARENTEX PLUS is primarily applied as a phosphate buffer system and pH-adjusting excipient in pharmaceuticals, food products, and industrial water treatment systems, particularly in formulations requiring long-term chemical microenvironment stability.
