Frequently Asked Questions
1. What distinguishes the Anhydrous grade from the Monohydrate grade?
The primary difference is the moisture content and phosphate concentration. The Anhydrous grade (Ca(H₂PO₄)₂) lacks water molecules and offers a higher P₂O₅ content (60.0%), whereas the Monohydrate grade includes a water molecule and yields a P₂O₅ content of 55.0%.
2. What is the solubility profile of MCP?
Mono Calcium Phosphate is slightly soluble in water but readily dissolves in dilute acids (such as hydrochloric, nitric, and acetic acid). It is insoluble in ethanol.
3. Is this product safe for human consumption and animal feed?
Yes, our MCP is fully compliant with Food & Feed grade requirements. It is manufactured under strict GMP and ISO certifications and conforms to relevant BP, USP, and FCC pharmacopeial standards.
