Dicalcium Phosphate(DCP 18%) CaHPO4

Introduction：

Dicalcium phosphate, also known as calcium hydroxide phosphate ,with the formula Ca(H2PO4)2, is an inorganic compound. It is a salt composed of calcium ions (Ca2+) and two phosphate hydroxide ions (H2PO4-).Calcium hydrogen phosphate is in the form of white crystals or crystalline powders and is relatively stable at room temperature. It is soluble in water, but has a low solubility. It can also be dissolved in acidic solutions, but not in alkaline solutions.Calcium hydrogen phosphate is widely used as a food additive in the food industry, which has the functions of thickening, stabilizing and acidizing. It is often used in the production of bread, pastries, dairy products, beverages and other foods, can improve the texture of products, extend the storage life, and play a role in adjusting the pH value. In addition, calcium hydrogen phosphate is also used as a feed additive to provide phosphorus and calcium in animal feed to promote animal growth and bone development.

Application：

Calcium hydrogen phosphate has a wide range of applications in many fields, the following are some of the main application areas:
1.Food industry: Calcium hydrogen phosphate is a common food additive used as an acidity regulator, preservative and food nutritional supplement. It can be used in beverages, breads, pastries, meat products, dairy products and other foods.
2.Fertilizer: Calcium hydrogen phosphate is an important raw material for phosphate fertilizer. It can provide phosphorus needed by plants to promote plant growth and development.
3.Water treatment: Calcium hydrogen phosphate can be used for phosphate precipitation and phosphate removal in the water treatment process. It helps to control the concentration of phosphorus pollutants in water bodies and reduce eutrophication problems.
4.Medical and pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Calcium hydrogen phosphate is used as a phosphorus supplement in the medical field, primarily to treat problems such as osteoporosis and calcium metabolism disorders. In addition, it is also used in the manufacturing process of certain pharmaceuticals.
5.Industrial processing: Calcium hydrogen phosphate is used as a corrosion inhibitor and flame retardant in some industrial processes. It can play a role in protecting and increasing the fire resistance of the material.
