Calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate

(7789-77-7)
Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium phosphate with the formula CaHPO4. The "di" prefix in the common name arises because the formation of the HPO42– anion involves the removal of two protons from phosphoric acid, H3PO4. It is also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrogen phosphate. There are three crystalline forms: a dihydrate, CaHPO4•2H2O ('DPCD'), the mineral brushite; a hemihydrate, CaHPO4•0.5H2O; and anhydrous CaHPO4, ('DCPA'), the mineral monetite. Below pH 4.8 the dihydra

Abrasive ingredients are substances with a granular or rough texture designed to remove unwanted tissue or foreign matter from various body surfaces, including exfoliation, smoothing, or cleansing the skin. Depending on particle size and texture, scrubs can be classified as fine, medium, or coarse. Based on ingredients, abrasives can be further divided into natural and synthetic abrasives made from engineered substances. Abrasives can also be classified by use, such as facial scrubs, body exfoliants, or polishes in cosmetics. "Abrasive" on ECHEM mainly supplies raw materials for cosmetic abrasives.

More Information

The mechanism of abrasives involves the physical action of abrasive particles on the surface being treated. In toothpaste, for example, abrasives like silica or calcium carbonate help to remove plaque, stains, and food particles from the teeth through gentle friction. Similarly, in exfoliating scrubs, abrasive particles such as sugar, salt, or microbeads work to slough off dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin beneath.

Common abrasive agents include:

● Silica: Commonly used in toothpaste, exfoliating scrubs, and polishing compounds.

● Aluminum oxide: An abrasive commonly used in industrial applications.

● Pumice: A volcanic rock with abrasive properties, often used in foot scrubs and callus removers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are abrasives and how are they used?

Abrasives are hard materials used to shape, smooth, or finish surfaces through grinding, polishing, or cutting. Common types include aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, diamond, and garnet. They are widely used in industries such as metalworking, woodworking, automotive manufacturing, and construction for tasks like deburring, sharpening, and surface preparation.

What is the difference between bonded and coated abrasives?

Bonded abrasives, such as grinding wheels, consist of abrasive grains held together by a bonding agent and are used for heavy-duty material removal. Coated abrasives, like sandpaper, feature abrasive grains fixed onto a flexible backing (e.g., paper or cloth) and are ideal for smoothing or finishing surfaces. The choice depends on the application’s precision, pressure, and material type.

How do I choose the right abrasive grit size for my project?

Selecting the correct abrasive grit size depends on your task:• Coarse grits (e.g., 24–60) are best for rapid material removal.• Medium grits (e.g., 80–120) suit general sanding and surface leveling.• Fine grits (e.g., 150–220) are used for finishing and smoothing.• Ultra-fine grits (320+) achieve polished, high-quality surfaces.Always consider the material being worked on and desired surface finish when choosing grit.

Are there eco-friendly or sustainable abrasive options available?

Yes, many manufacturers now offer sustainable abrasives made from recycled materials or designed for longer life and reduced waste. Examples include abrasives with bio-based backings, low-dust formulations, and products engineered for reuse or extended performance. Choosing these options can help reduce environmental impact while maintaining efficiency in industrial or DIY applications.

What safety precautions should be taken when using abrasives?

When working with abrasives, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, dust masks or respirators, gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhaling fine particles. Follow manufacturer guidelines for tool speed and pressure to prevent overheating, breakage, or injury. Regularly inspect abrasive tools for wear or damage before use.
