CAPTAL ‘ACP 1.67’ Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP)
High-Purity, Versatile, Amorphous Hydroxyapatite Precursor
Captal ® Amorphous Calcium Phosphate ‘ACP 1.67’ is a high-purity, non-crystalline, medical-grade product, with a calcium : phosphorus ratio (Ca:P) of 1.67. The material will fully convert into highly crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) under the appropriate sintering conditions.
As a pre-crystalline powder, CAPTAL® ‘ACP 1.67’ is advantageous for composite device manufacture, allowing for the shaping of constructs prior to sintering. In addition to its use in composite device manufacturing, CAPTAL® ‘ACP 1.67’ can also be applied in medical and dental applications as a rapidly-resorbable source of calcium and phosphate ions, promoting local osteogenesis.
Physical Properties
CAPTAL® ‘ACP 1.67’ 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. The surface area of CAPTAL ® ‘ACP1.67’ is high (50 – 90 m²/g), CAPTAL® ‘ACP 1.67’ under a correct sintering regime forms fully ISO 13779-6 compliant material.
If critical, absence of endotoxins must be considered in unsintered materials before use. Please refer to the safety data sheet for more information on the storage and handling of CAPTAL® ACP 1.67 material.
