Hydroxyapatite (Highly dispersed)

Hydroxyapatite (highly dispersed): properties, application and production

Hydroxyapatite (highly dispersed) is a calcium-based product that is produced in Russia, in particular, by the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. The international name for this substance is calcium hydroxyphosphate, and it can also be known under the synonyms “hydroxyapatite” or “hydroxyapatite paste”.

Hydroxyapatite is a mineral that is the main component of bone tissue. Highly dispersed hydroxyapatite is a powdered form of this mineral with particle sizes ranging from 5 to 100 nm. Due to its properties, hydroxyapatite (highly dispersed) is widely used in medicine.

One of the main uses of hydroxyapatite is its use as an implant in bone tissue reconstruction. This is due to the fact that hydroxyapatite is highly biocompatible with human tissue and does not cause rejection. It also promotes the growth of new bone tissue due to its structure, which matches the structure of bone tissue.

Hydroxyapatite (highly dispersed) can also be used as an ingredient in cosmetics and toothpastes. In cosmetics, hydroxyapatite is used to improve skin quality, as it promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. In toothpastes, hydroxyapatite is used to strengthen tooth enamel.

The production of hydroxyapatite (highly dispersed) occurs through the synthesis of calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. The resulting product is then subjected to multi-stage cleaning and drying. The finished substance has a white color and a powdery consistency.

Thus, hydroxyapatite (highly dispersed) is an important remedy in medicine and cosmetology, which has high biocompatibility with human tissues and promotes their regeneration. Its production takes place in Russia, in particular by the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, and it is widely used both in the form of a substance and as an ingredient in cosmetics and toothpastes.
