Sodium Bicarbonate
Formula:
NaHCO₃
GOST/CAS:
CAS 144-55-8
Sodium Bicarbonate (Pharmaceutical Grade) is a highly purified inorganic compound that appears as an odorless white crystalline powder. It is stable in dry air and highly soluble in water. Due to its strictly controlled impurities and exceptional chemical purity, this product serves as an indispensable core component in the pharmaceutical, medical, and chemical industries, as well as in specialized construction and finishing formulations.
Applications
Pharmaceuticals & Medicine: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for manufacturing infusion solutions (to correct metabolic acidosis), and as a key component in antacids, effervescent tablets, powders, formulations for rinses, and inhalation solutions.
Personal Care & Cosmetics: Applied as a mild buffering agent, pH regulator, and gentle abrasive in toothpastes, personal hygiene products, bath bombs, and premium-grade detergents.
Food & Chemical Industries: Acts as a high-quality leavening agent, acidity regulator, and a premium raw material for synthesizing other ultra-pure sodium derivatives.
Specialized Construction Chemistry: Utilized as a mild setting accelerator or retarder in specialty dry mixes, and as an eco-friendly agent for neutralizing acidic environments.
Key Advantages
Ultra-High Purity Level: Fully complies with stringent pharmacopeia standards, ensuring minimal presence of heavy metals and foreign impurities.
Excellent Solubility: Dissolves rapidly and completely in water, forming a clear, mildly alkaline solution with no residue.
Stable Buffering Effect: Effectively maintains and regulates pH levels within targeted ranges in both liquid and gel-based systems.
Eco-Friendly & Safe: Completely biodegradable, non-toxic, and entirely safe for both human health and the environment when handled under standard guidelines.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse in tightly sealed original packaging, away from moisture sources and incompatible substances (strong acids).
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure and protect packaging from mechanical damage due to the product's highly hygroscopic nature.
- Transportation is permitted by all modes of covered transport, provided that temperature regulations are followed and protection from precipitation is secured. This material is classified as non-hazardous.
- Shelf Life: 2 years from the date of manufacture.
