Superfine Micronized Particle Size (D90 ≤ 10 µm): Specially engineered for liquid suspension and premium powder systems, eliminating the noticeable grit and heavy sedimentation typical of traditional calcium salts, significantly enhancing mouthfeel and dispersion uniformity.
High-Efficiency Anti-Caking & Flow Aid: Delivers exceptional moisture-barrier and anti-caking performance in hygroscopic powder systems, acting as an efficient flow agent to improve packaging line efficiency.
Ultra-High Purity & Low Heavy Metals: High elemental calcium content (34%–40%) with strictly controlled levels of lead, arsenic, fluorine, and microbiological limits, fully complying with and exceeding food safety standards.
Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) is an odorless, high-purity, ultra-fine white powder. Utilizing advanced micronization milling technology, the particle size is strictly controlled at D90 ≤ 10 µm, effectively overcoming the common pain points of traditional calcium salts—such as rapid sedimentation in liquids and a rough, gritty mouthfeel. Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate is not only an ideal high-suspension calcium fortifier but also an exceptional anti-caking agent and glidant in powder processing. It disperses uniformly across complex liquid and powder formulations, making it widely suitable for oat milk, protein powders, chewable tablets, and various nutritional fortification foods.
Grittiness-Free Mouthfeel: Micronized processing eliminates any rough or grainy texture on the palate, imparting a smooth and silky profile to beverages.
Superior Liquid Suspension Stability: Ultra-small particle size dramatically slows down sedimentation velocity in liquid systems, minimizing bottom-settling and extending formulation shelf life.
Efficient Anti-Caking & Powder Flowability: Micro-particles evenly coat other powder matrices, reducing moisture-induced adhesion and significantly boosting powder flow and filling efficiency.
Thermal Stability & pH Buffering: Withstands UHT sterilization and high-temperature baking without degradation, while providing favorable pH buffering within the system.
Strict High-Purity Quality: Heavy metal (lead, arsenic, fluorine) and microbiological parameters far exceed industry limits, ensuring safe and reliable calcium fortification.

Plant-Based Milk & Dairy Beverage Formulations: When added to oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or fortified milk, pre-blending with hydrocolloids (such as gellan gum, carrageenan, or xanthan gum) prior to homogenization is recommended. The micronized particle size forms a stable suspension network with colloids, preventing phase separation and bottom sediment.
Powder Blends & Anti-Caking Applications: In hygroscopic pre-mixes, electrolyte powders, or fruit juice powders, adding 0.5%–2.0% Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate creates a protective barrier on particle surfaces, preventing caking and improving powder dropping and filling rates.
Dietary Supplement Tablet Processing: Serving as a direct compression diluent and binder, its ultra-fine structure helps increase tablet hardness, reduce surface defects, and deliver a high concentration of active elemental calcium.
Plant-Based Drinks & Fortified Dairy: Dispersion and suspension calcium fortification in oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, and fortified milk.
Instant Powders & Sports Nutrition: Protein powders, meal replacement shakes, electrolyte drink mixes, and functional solid beverages (anti-caking and flow enhancement).

Q1: What is the main difference between Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate and regular Tricalcium Phosphate?
A1: The primary difference lies in particle size control (D90 ≤ 10 µm). Regular tricalcium phosphate has coarser particles that settle rapidly in beverages and produce a noticeable gritty feel, whereas Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate offers dramatically enhanced suspension stability without compromising smooth mouthfeel.
Q2: Does Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate completely dissolve in liquids?
A2: Tricalcium phosphate is a water-insoluble mineral, but its ultra-fine micronized particle size enables prolonged, uniform suspension when supported by hydrocolloids, ensuring stable calcium fortification without the bitterness or precipitation issues associated with soluble calcium salts.
Q3: How does it prevent caking in solid powders?
A3: Ultra-fine particles physically space out primary powder grains, adsorb trace moisture, and reduce friction and adhesion between particles, significantly improving powder flowability and preventing storage-induced caking.
Q4: Is Superfine Tricalcium Phosphate resistant to high-temperature processing (e.g., UHT or baking)?
A4: Yes, tricalcium phosphate possesses exceptional thermal stability and will not degrade or discolor during UHT sterilization or high-temperature baking, making it ideal for thermal food processing systems.
Q5: Does the product contain common allergens or GMO ingredients?
A5: It is completely free from major common allergens (gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free) and is non-GMO, making it ideal for various clean-label formulations.
