Abstract
Abstract Two component, storage stable apatitic cement compositions, as well as methods for their production, are provided. The dry component of subject apatitic cements comprises basic calcium source particles at least partially coated with a partially neutralized acidic calcium phosphate. The dry component of subject compositions is prepared by combining basic calcium source particles with dissolved acidic phosphate in at least a partially aqueous medium, whereby the basic calcium source particles become partially coated with a partially neutralized acidic calcium phosphate. The reaction is terminated prior to completion of the reaction between the acidic phosphate and the basic calcium source by removing the available water from the reaction mixture. In a first mode, the subject cement may be produced by mechanically mixing an acidic phosphate source with basic calcium source particles in the presence of an aqueous solvent and stopping the reaction between the acid and base prior to completion. Alternatively, a phosphoric acid solution may be rapidly combined with a basic calcium phosphate particle slurry such that partially neutralized acidic calcium phosphate precipitates on the surface of the basic calcium phosphate particles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A method for producing a dry component for a storage stable, two component apatitic cement composition, said method comprising: mixing an acidic phosphate source with a basic calcium source in the presence of an aqueous solvent, whereby a reaction between said acidic phosphate source and basic calcium source occurs; and stopping the reaction between said acidic phosphate source and basic calcium source prior to completion by removing substantially all of the free water from said reaction mixture, resulting in solids substantially free of uncombined water; whereby a dry component comprising said basic calcium source at least partially coated with a partially neutralized acidic calcium phosphate is produced.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
107 words
A method for producing a dry component for a storage stable, two component apatitic cement composition, said method comprising: mixing an acidic phosphate source with a basic calcium source in the presence of an aqueous solvent, whereby a reaction between said acidic phosphate source and basic calcium source occurs; and stopping the reaction between said acidic phosphate source and basic calcium source prior to completion by removing substantially all of the free water from said reaction mixture, resulting in solids substantially free of uncombined water; whereby a dry component comprising said basic calcium source at least partially coated with a partially neutralized acidic calcium phosphate is produced.
