Sodium phosphate tribasic dodecahydrate (Na3PO4·12H2O),known as trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate, is a highly water-soluble inorganic compound which exhibits both buffering and chelating properties. It is commonly used in various industrial applications where it serves as a cleaning agent, stain remover, and degreaser due to its ability to saponify fats and oils, effectively breaking them down.
