Lactic Acid 80% ACS in Safe Break Glass Winchester

What is Lactic Acid? 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.

Safe Break Glass Winchester Bottle: Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. The Safe Break bottles offer an additional layer of protection; if breakage occurs, the PE coating keeps all liquid and glass splinters contained.

Frequent Uses

Chemical Reactions and Synthesis
Can 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 Decontamination
Used in some liquid cleaners as a descaling agent for removing hard water deposits such as calcium carbonate.
