Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Used primarily as a processing aid, pH-adjusting and alkalizing agent in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing
Acts as a reactive calcium source that readily converts to calcium hydroxide upon hydration
Applied in API and excipient manufacturing, neutralization reactions, and intermediate processing steps
Also used as a raw material precursor for manufacturing calcium salts (calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, calcium phosphate)
Not typically used as a direct oral calcium supplement due to high reactivity and caustic nature
Requires controlled handling, precise dosing, and moisture protection during processing
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Not generally used as a finished oral dosage ingredient
Used in manufacturing processes, intermediates, and controlled topical or dental applications (grade dependent)
Industrial pharmaceutical and nutraceutical processing aid
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP (where applicable for processing use)
White to off-white, odorless powder or lumps
Reacts vigorously with water to form calcium hydroxide (exothermic reaction)
Strongly alkaline; strict safety and handling controls required
Manufactured in GMP-compliant facilities for pharmaceutical-grade material
Animal-Origin Declaration:
100% non-animal origin
Free from BSE/TSE, GMO, and allergen risks
Manufacturing Support:
Supplied with COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS, specification sheet, and origin declaration
Technical support for process application, calcium equivalence calculations, and safety handling guidance
Documentation support available for global resale, export, and regulatory submissions
Suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food-processing, and healthcare manufacturing applications where permitted by local regulations
Important Note:
Calcium oxide is a highly reactive and caustic material. It is intended mainly for manufacturing and processing use, not as a direct dietary calcium source. Usage must strictly comply with occupational safety standards and country-specific regulatory guidelines.
