Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- DCP
- Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate
- Dibasic Calcium Phosphate
- Calcium Phosphate Dibasic
Dicalcium phosphate supplier for feed, food, pharmaceutical and technical buyers in Malaysia. Also called DCP, calcium hydrogen phosphate, dibasic calcium phosphate and E341(ii), this sparingly water-soluble calcium phosphate salt is selected for mineral nutrition, fortification and dry-dose formulation.
Commercial forms include anhydrous dicalcium phosphate (DCPA) and the dihydrate (DCPD), usually supplied as white powder or free-flowing granules. Feed, food and pharmaceutical grades are specified separately because purity controls and documentation differ by end use.
Feed manufacturers use DCP as a calcium and phosphorus source in mineral premixes and compound feeds. Food processors select food-grade material for fortification and related processing uses, while pharmaceutical and personal-care formulators use suitable grades as tablet diluents or oral-care bases.
Send the required form or grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about dicalcium phosphate
What is dicalcium phosphate and how does it differ from other calcium phosphates?
Dicalcium phosphate (DCP), also called calcium hydrogen phosphate or dibasic calcium phosphate, is the dibasic salt CaHPO4. It is not monocalcium phosphate or tricalcium phosphate. Those are different products and should be requested on their own pages if required.
Should I order anhydrous DCP or the dihydrate?
Anhydrous dicalcium phosphate (DCPA) is often chosen for dry blends and systems that specify low moisture. The dihydrate (DCPD) is common in compressible tablet fillers and some dental bases. State the form named on your specification or recipe so the quotation matches the correct hydrate.
Is feed-grade dicalcium phosphate the same as food or pharmaceutical grade?
No. Feed-grade material is selected for animal-nutrition mineral premixes against feed specifications. Food-grade and pharmaceutical or excipient grades carry different purity, documentation and end-use controls. Name the intended use and grade in the enquiry.
What specifications should a buyer provide for DCP?
State form (anhydrous or dihydrate), grade (feed, food or pharmaceutical), quantity and delivery location. Include any limits for assay, moisture, heavy metals, microbiology, phosphorus or calcium content, and particle size when they matter to your process.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and any required product documents in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a dicalcium phosphate price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the full requirement.
