Lactic Acid (chemical formula C3H6O3) is an organic acid that occurs naturally in muscles and certain foods, particularly dairy products. It is a colourless liquid with a mild acidic taste and is known for its ability to act as a preservative, pH regulator, and chelating agent. High-Quality Formulation: Our Lactic Acid meets the requirements for the food grade classification with both the ACS (American Chemical Society) and FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) respectively. It also meets the standards to qualify as vegan. Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and bottled in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring reliable quality for our customers. Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 500ml, 1L and 2.5L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Frequent Uses Chemical Reactions and SynthesisCan be used as a precursor in polymer production. Two molecules of lactic acid can be dehydrated to the lactone lactide. In the presence of catalysts, lactide polymerises to either atactic or syndiotactic polylactide (PLA), which are biodegradable polyesters. PLA is an example of a plastic that is not derived from petrochemicals. Cleaning and DecontaminationUsed in some liquid cleaners as a descaling agent for removing hard water deposits such as calcium carbonate.
