Product Overview
Lactic Acid (Heat-Stable Refined Grade) is a high-purity, bio-based organic acid produced through the fermentation of natural carbohydrates. Specially refined and stabilized, this grade offers excellent thermal stability, making it ideal for processes that involve elevated temperatures such as food sterilization, pharmaceutical synthesis, and cosmetic formulation.
Available in a variety of concentrations — 50%, 80%, 85%, 88%, and 90% — this product provides flexibility for different industrial and formulation needs.
