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.
