Di Calcium Phosphate
Di Calcium Phosphate by Tricon - A Trusted Mineral Source for Nutrition, Feed & Industrial Applications
Di Calcium Phosphate (DCP) is a widely used calcium and phosphorus compound known for its high nutritional value and excellent stability. It plays an important role in food supplements, animal feed, pharmaceutical formulations, and various industrial processes. At Tricon, we deal in carefully processed Di Calcium Phosphate that meets quality standards for purity, safety, and consistent performance.
In the nutrition and health sector, Di Calcium Phosphate is commonly used as a mineral supplement to support strong bones, teeth, and overall skeletal health. It provides a balanced source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential nutrients required for proper body function. Because of its good bioavailability and neutral taste, it is often included in tablets, powders, fortified foods, and dietary supplements.
In animal feed production, Di Calcium Phosphate is a key ingredient used to improve livestock growth, bone development, and feed efficiency. It helps maintain proper mineral balance in poultry, cattle, and other farm animals, contributing to healthier and more productive animals.
Beyond nutritional uses, Di Calcium Phosphate is also applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing as a tableting agent and stabilizer. It supports uniform formulation and improves product consistency. In some industrial applications, it is used in ceramics, fertilizers, and chemical processing where mineral content is essential.
At Tricon, quality is central to everything we supply. Our Di Calcium Phosphate is produced with controlled composition, low impurity levels, and reliable particle size to ensure smooth application across industries. Each batch is monitored to maintain consistency and meet customer requirements.
With growing demand for mineral-based solutions in health, agriculture, and manufacturing, Di Calcium Phosphate remains an essential compound worldwide. Tricon continues to support clients with dependable supply, technical assistance, and flexible packaging options.
For bulk orders, product specifications, or application guidance, Tricon is ready to meet your Di Calcium Phosphate needs with professionalism and reliability.
Key Types and Characteristics of Di Calcium Phosphate
Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) is available in two primary forms to meet different formulation requirements. The DCP Dihydrate form has a monoclinic crystal structure and is widely used in direct compression processes, particularly in tablet manufacturing. The DCP Anhydrous form has a triclinic structure with higher porosity, offering improved flow properties and better compression performance in pharmaceutical applications.
In the food and nutrition industry, Dicalcium Phosphate is commonly used as a dietary mineral supplement. It is added to products such as breakfast cereals, fortified flour, and pet treats to provide essential calcium and phosphorus. It also functions as a whitening agent in certain food products, helping maintain visual appeal while supporting nutritional value.
Within pharmaceutical formulations, Dicalcium Phosphate acts as a binder and filler (excipient) in tablets and capsules. Its stability and compression characteristics make it suitable for producing uniform dosage forms. In oral care products like toothpaste, it serves as a polishing and tartar-control agent, contributing to effective dental cleaning without damaging enamel.
Dicalcium Phosphate is an essential mineral ingredient in livestock feed, including poultry and cattle nutrition. It supports proper bone development, balanced growth, and overall health in animals. Its consistent mineral composition helps improve feed efficiency and productivity in agricultural operations.
Dicalcium Phosphate appears as a fine white powder and is insoluble in water, which contributes to its chemical stability and long shelf life. It is generally regarded as safe when used within recommended limits. However, excessive intake of calcium-rich compounds may lead to hypercalcemia, emphasizing the importance of controlled dosage.
Dicalcium Phosphate is produced through a controlled reaction between phosphoric acid and calcium sources such as calcium hydroxide (lime) or calcium chloride. This process ensures consistent purity and quality suitable for food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade, and feed-grade applications.
