Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) – Product Overview
Â
Tricalcium Phosphate is a stable inorganic compound primarily used as a calcium and phosphorus source across food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. Due to its low solubility in water and high chemical stability, it is especially suitable for applications requiring controlled release and long-term stability.
Â
In food and pharmaceutical formulations, Tricalcium Phosphate is widely used as a nutritional supplement and anti-caking agent. In industrial applications, it serves as a functional additive and intermediate in various phosphate-based processes.
Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) – Chemical & Physical Properties
Â
Tricalcium Phosphate is a non-hygroscopic, chemically stable powder under normal storage conditions. It does not readily dissolve in water but reacts with acids to release calcium and phosphate ions. Its inert nature and thermal stability make it suitable for formulations requiring long shelf life and minimal reactivity.
Why Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) Matters for Industrial Use
Â
Tricalcium Phosphate plays an important role in applications where controlled calcium and phosphorus delivery is essential. In food and nutraceutical products, purity and consistency are critical for consumer safety and regulatory compliance. In industrial applications, stable composition ensures predictable performance. Product quality directly influences formulation accuracy, stability, and acceptance in regulated markets.
