ABSTRACT:
Methods for producing a room temperature stable, phase pure .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product, and compositions derived therefrom, are provided. In the subject method, a tricalcium phosphate source is heated to a temperature sufficient to convert substantially all of said tricalcium phosphate source to a substantially phase pure .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product. The temperature of the resultant product is rapidly cooled to a temperature below about 700.degree. C., resulting in a room temperature stable, reactive .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product. The resultant .alpha.-C.sub.3 P product may be milled to provide an .alpha.-C.sub.3 P composition which may find use in the preparation of calcium phosphate cements.
