CAPTAL ‘ACP 1.50’ Amorphous Tricalcium Phosphate (ACP)
High-Purity, Bespoke Size & Morphology, Amorphous Beta-Tricalcium Precursor
CAPTAL ® Amorphous Calcium Phosphate ‘1.5’ is a high-purity, pre-crystalline, medical grade product, with a calcium : phosphorus ratio (Ca:P) of 1.50. When heated above 900 °C, the material will crystallise, forming high-phase purity Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (95% + phase pure), and under the correct sintering regime will form fully crystalline ß-TCP (99% +).
Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (ß-TCP) is commonly used in the dental industry for its ability to reduce sensitivity and promote calcium deposition, aiding in the treatment of enamel cavities. CAPTAL ® ‘ACP 1.5’ as a pre-crystalline material is suitable for manufacturing routes that would ordinarily disrupt the crystalline lattice of ß-TCP .
Physical Properties
CAPTAL ® ‘ACP 1.5’ is available with a spherical morphology, with average particle size, Dv(50), of 15 – 30 μm, or with an angular morphology as granules with a Dv (50) from 60 μm up to 500 μm. It is sold as a non-sterile powder. We can provide partial sintering on request to adjust particle porosity.
