Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Used primarily as an alkalizing and pH-adjusting agent in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing
Acts as a buffering and neutralizing agent in processing, formulation adjustment, and intermediate steps
Widely applied in dental preparations (e.g., root canal materials) due to antimicrobial alkalinity
Serves as a precursor/intermediate in the manufacture of calcium salts (calcium lactate, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate)
Not commonly used as a direct oral calcium supplement because of strong alkalinity
Requires controlled handling and accurate dosing due to caustic nature
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Primarily used as a manufacturing and processing aid
Dental and oral-care preparations (pharmaceutical grade)
Topical formulations (grade dependent)
Industrial pharmaceutical and nutraceutical processing applications
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Available in grades aligned with USP / EP / BP / IP (where applicable)
White, fine, odorless powder
Slightly soluble in water; forms alkaline suspension
Strong alkaline reaction; reacts with acids and absorbs CO₂ from air
Manufactured in GMP-certified 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, pH control, calcium equivalence calculations, and safety handling
Regulatory and documentation support available for global resale, export, and international distribution
Suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, dental, food-processing, and healthcare manufacturing where permitted by local regulations
Important Note:
Calcium hydroxide is a strongly alkaline and reactive compound. It is intended mainly for processing, dental, and controlled technical use, not as a routine dietary calcium source. Handling and usage must strictly follow safety standards and country-specific regulatory guidelines.
