Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate (DCPD) is a widely used inorganic excipient and mineral supplement valued for its good compressibility, low hygroscopicity and nutritional calcium/phosphate content. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical tablets, it serves primarily as a filler and diluent, helping to build tablet mass, improve flow and support robust mechanical strength.
Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate – DCPD Filler & Mineral Source from TCS INDUSTRIES LIMITED is supplied as a white crystalline material with controlled particle-size distribution, tailored to direct compression and granulation processes. Its neutral taste and high stability make it suitable for both pharmaceutical and food applications, including tablets, capsules, premixes and fortified foods.
In solid dosage forms, DCPD’s brittle deformation behavior complements plastic excipients, enabling strong compacts with low friability when combined appropriately. Spray-dried or engineered grades of calcium phosphates have been shown to function as effective direct-compression fillers, often used in combination with microcrystalline cellulose or other binders to achieve optimal compressibility.
TCS GROUP offers a harmonized excipient toolbox that works synergistically with DCPD. For example, Anhydrous Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate – Direct Compression Filler & Calcium Source provides an anhydrous alternative for moisture-sensitive actives or processes requiring lower water content, while Microcrystalline Cellulose – Premium Filler & Binder for Direct Compression offers excellent plasticity and binding performance to pair with DCPD’s brittle profile in co-processed or blended systems.
To ensure fast and reliable disintegration even with high mineral load, formulators often incorporate efficient superdisintegrants. Within the same portfolio, Croscarmellose Sodium – Superdisintegrant for Rapid Tablet Disintegration is a strong partner for DCPD-based tablets, helping to secure rapid breakup and consistent release profiles in both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
Beyond oral solids, DCPD can also be utilized in animal feed and food fortification as a bioavailable source of calcium and phosphorus, supporting bone development and metabolic functions. Its safety profile and long history of use in regulated markets make it a dependable choice for multi-sector formulations.
By choosing Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate from TCS INDUSTRIES LIMITED, manufacturers gain a versatile filler and mineral source backed by technical expertise, consistent quality and a complementary excipient portfolio—ideal for efficient, robust and nutritionally relevant formulations.
