NASOTIC Buffer System – NBS – NASOTIC

NBS is more than a buffer system. Its advanced formulation provides sustained pH control, supports formulation stability, and opens new possibilities for preservative optimization in aqueous systems.

🔬 What is NBS?

NBS is a high-performance buffer system designed to maintain a stable pH in aqueous industrial formulations.

The NBS product family covers approximately pH 6–10, with three grades optimized for different operating ranges. Its combination of Good’s buffer chemistry and a water-soluble supramolecular formulation structure provides sustained buffering capacity during processing and storage.
