Description

Calcium Phosphate CAS NO 7758-87-4 is a versatile inorganic salt widely recognized for its nutritional and functional properties. It serves as a critical source of calcium and phosphorus, essential for bone health and numerous industrial processes. This compound is indispensable for manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries, where it acts as a nutrient supplement, anti-caking agent, and tablet excipient.

Application

• Food & Beverage Additive: Used as a nutritional fortifier (calcium source), pH regulator, dough conditioner, and anti-caking agent in products like flour, baking powder, and nutritional supplements.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a diluent, filler, and controlled-release agent in tablet and capsule formulations, particularly in dietary calcium supplements.
• Animal Feed Supplement: An essential mineral premix component to support bone development, eggshell quality, and overall health in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.
• Dental & Oral Care: Incorporated into toothpaste and dental creams as a gentle abrasive and remineralizing agent.
• Industrial Applications: Utilized in ceramics, glass manufacturing, and as a polishing agent.
• Biomedical Materials: A key raw material in the synthesis of hydroxyapatite for bone graft substitutes and bioactive coatings on medical implants.
