Medicine Grade Phosphoric Acid

Descripción

Medicine grade phosphoric acid also know as orthophosphoric acid (molecular structure H3PO4). The pure product is a colorless, transparent, viscous liquid or orthorhombic crystal, odorless and very sour. 85% phosphoric acid is a colorless, transparent or slightly light-colored, viscous liquid. Melting point 42.35℃, specific gravity 1.70, high boiling point acid, miscible with water in any ratio, boiling point 213℃ (lose 1/2 water), then pyrophosphoric acid generately. When heated to 300℃, it becomes metaphosphoric acid. Relative density 181.834. Easily soluble in water.
Medicine grade phosphoric acid has a variety of uses in the pharmaceutical field, mainly including:
1. Medicine excipients
Medicine grade phosphoric acid can used for a pharmaceutical excipient for the preparation and production of drugs. For example, it may use for adjust the pH of drugs to ensure the effectiveness and stability of drugs.
2. Treatment of osteoporosis
Phosphate is one of the important substances in the human and animal body, especially in the formation of bones and teeth. Some mixtures of calcium and phosphate used for treat osteoporosis, helping to increase bone density and bone mass in the human body, thereby reducing the risk of fractures.
3. Biological research
Phosphoric acid solutions are also wide use for biological research. These solutions can help cells and tissues maintain their normal pH and ion concentrations, simulating the biochemical environment in the human body so that research can conducte at the cellular and molecular levels.
4. Oral care
Phosphates can also be used to make oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash. Phosphates help repair damaged teeth and enamel while keeping the mouth in a healthy acid-base balance.
In summary, pharmaceutical grade phosphoric acid has a wide range of uses in the pharmaceutical field, playing an important role from pharmaceutical excipients to treating various diseases to supporting scientific research and oral care.
