Description
Hydroxyapatite Micron Powder
Purity: 99.5+%
Particle Size: 10–20 µm
Hydroxyapatite (HA), chemically represented as Ca₅(PO₄)₃OH·2H₂O, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium phosphate and the primary structural component of human bones and teeth. It possesses outstanding biocompatibility, bioactivity, and osteoconductive properties, making it one of the most widely used materials in biomedical applications. Our high-purity Hydroxyapatite Micron Powder, with controlled particle size distribution between 10 and 20 microns, is ideal for advanced orthopedic, dental, and pharmaceutical applications requiring precise morphology and uniform chemical properties.
