FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Lactic Acid 88% AR?

When stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container, it remains stable for up to 2 years from the manufacturing date.

2. Is this product compatible with glass containers?

Yes, it can be stored in glass bottles, but prolonged exposure may require inert or resistant materials like HDPE for long-term storage.

3. Can this be used as a food-grade additive?

No, this is an analytical reagent grade and not certified for food or pharmaceutical applications.

4. What precautions should be taken while handling?

Wear gloves, goggles, and lab coats. Avoid inhalation and ensure proper ventilation, as it can cause skin and eye irritation.

5. Are there alternatives for less concentrated lactic acid?

Yes, lower concentrations (e.g., 50% or 70%) are available but may require adjustments in experimental protocols.
