Application

Tricalcium phosphate hydrate serves diverse purposes due to its chemical properties and natural occurrence. This compound plays a significant role in industrial applications, such as fertilizers, dental products, ceramics, and polishing powders. It acts as a stabilizer in plastics and an anticaking agent, a nutrient supplement for cattle feed, and is instrumental in clarifying sugar syrup. Additionally, it functions as a mordant in dyeing textiles and serves as a pH buffer. As one of the principal minerals for producing phosphate fertilizers and other phosphorus compounds, its resemblance to the mineral components of bone also makes it valuable in bone graft substitutes. Notably, tricalcium phosphate hydrate is effective as a countermeasure for exposure to strontium and radium radionuclides, competing for and blocking their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Its utility extends to applications in animal feed supplements, fertilizer, glass manufacture, and dental products, underscoring its versatility and importance.
