Overview
Galacid Industrial 88 YC is a yellowish, syrupy, and hygroscopic lactic acid specifically designed for industrial applications. This product is not appropriate for human consumption and should not be used in food applications. Industrial-grade lactic acid provides an effective, bio-based acid for a variety of non-food applications. In water treatment, it serves as a pH adjuster and descaling agent. In cleaning formulations, it provides effective removal of scale and mineral deposits. The CAS number for this product (50-21-5) reflects its racemic (DL) lactic acid composition, distinguishing it from the food-grade forms. As a product derived from the fermentation of renewable raw materials, Galacid Industrial 88 YC offers a greener alternative to petroleum-based or mineral acids in industrial processes.
Features & Benefits
- Industrial-grade lactic acid at 87.5 – 88.5% concentration
- Bio-based and derived from renewable fermentation
- Effective descaling and pH adjustment in water treatment applications
- Green chemistry is an alternative to traditional mineral acids
- 48-month shelf life
Problems Solved
Environmental concerns with petroleum-based or harsh mineral acids in industrial processes
Effective, biodegradable descaling agents for water treatment and equipment cleaning, pH adjustment in industrial processes requiring a mild organic acid
Need for bio-based acid alternatives in cleaning and manufacturing applications
Applications
Water treatment (pH adjustment, descaling), industrial cleaning, electronics manufacturing, and general industrial acid applications. Not for human consumption.
