Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid 88%
Product Overview:
Lactic acid at 88% concentration is a versatile organic acid used across food, animal feed, and leather and textile applications. It is commonly employed as an acidulant and preservative in food and beverage products, providing tartness while inhibiting spoilage microorganisms. Additionally, it serves as an acidifying additive in animal feed, supporting gut health and controlling pathogenic bacteria in livestock and poultry diets. Lactic acid is also utilized as a dyeing and finishing auxiliary in leather and textile processing, adjusting pH during dye application and tanning operations. Furthermore, it finds applications as a descaling agent in industrial cleaning formulations. Due to its acidic and mildly corrosive nature at higher concentrations, proper handling and safety precautions are necessary when using lactic acid 88%.
