Tricalcium Phosphate, having the chemical formula Ca₃(PO₄)₂, is a calcium salt of Phosphoric acid. It is also known as Bone Phosphate of Lime, Calcium Phosphate Tribasic, Calcium Hydroxyapatite, and Calcium Orthophosphate. It is reactive with oxidizing agents and can undergo thermal decomposition into irritating gases/ vapors having oxides of calcium and phosphorous. It appears as a white odorless, tasteless solid at ambient conditions and is insoluble in water.
Lab grade chemicals possess reasonable purity but do not comply with any official standard for quality or purity like the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, or the FCC Grade. The Lab Grade is also known as Laboratory Reagent (LR) and Chemically Pure (CP). Lab Alley’s Tricalcium Phosphate, Lab Grade is recommended for educational institutes, research labs, and commercial applications.
