Lactic Acid 80% Specifications
Assay and impurity limits follow the supply TDS. L-isomer content is expressed as a proportion of total lactic acid. Formula and molecular weight describe the active component, not the aqueous mixture.
Commercial Information
Storage & Shipping
Storage Conditions
Store tightly closed in a cool, ventilated area in acid-compatible packaging. Protect from contamination and excessive heat. Keep separate from strong bases, oxidizers and reducing agents.
Packaging Integrity
Check acid-compatible containers, seals and transfer connections for damage or leakage before unloading. Keep lot labels intact, prevent contamination and close the original packaging after sampling or dispensing.
Packaging
IBC tanks / chemical-compatible drums
Handling & Protection
Use acid-compatible closed transfer and local ventilation. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, a face shield for splash-prone work and protective clothing. Avoid skin, eye and mist exposure; provide eyewash and emergency washing facilities.
What Is Lactic Acid 80%?
Lactic acid, CAS 50-21-5, C3H6O3, molecular weight 90.08 g/mol, is an alpha-hydroxy organic acid. The 80% solution is used for pH adjustment, descaling and metal cleaning, and as an organic acid in oilfield acidizing where a milder, less corrosive acid than hydrochloric acid is needed.
The supply specification sets lactic acid ≥80% and L-isomer ≥98% of total lactic acid, with limits on chloride, sulfate, iron, lead, arsenic and residue. The L-isomer figure refers to the acid content, not the whole solution.
It ships as UN 3265, Class 8, packing group III. This is an industrial grade, not a food or pharmaceutical grade.
As a lactic acid supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM ships the clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid in IBCs or chemical-resistant drums.
