Product Details

• Tribasic Calcium Phosphate(TCP) contains calcium which is an essential mineral that plays an important role in the development of healthy bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle function, and overall growth and development. Tribasic calcium phosphate is an excellent source of calcium due to its high elemental calcium content, typically containing around 35-40% of calcium by weight.
• Tribasic Calcium Phosphate acts as a glidant by reducing interparticle friction and allowing the powder particles to slide over each other more easily. This improved flow helps prevent clumping and ensures uniform distribution. The addition of tribasic calcium phosphate as a glidant facilitates uniform mixing, which is crucial for achieving consistent drug distribution. The improved flow properties achieved by using tribasic calcium phosphate as a glidant ensure that the powder particles can be evenly distributed in the tablet die, leading to well-compacted tablets with uniform drug content.
• Similarly, in capsule manufacturing, powders need to flow smoothly to fill the capsule shells uniformly. Tribasic calcium phosphate helps prevent powder particles from agglomerating, making it easier to achieve consistent filling and accurate dosing in each capsule. Tribasic Calcium Phosphate can be used as a diluent filler in pharmaceutical manufacturing which are used in pharmaceutical formulations to add bulk or volume to solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules, while providing little or no therapeutic effect.
