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 Descaling
Popular choice for removing limescale from kettles, coffee makers, and bathroom fixtures. It provides a gentler alternative to harsher acids while being highly effective.
