Frequently Asked Questions
An alternative to Corbion PURALACT lactide should be selected based on the required lactide isomer, purity, optical purity, moisture content, residual acidity, and polymerization requirements. We supply high-purity L-lactide, D-lactide, and DL-lactide that can be evaluated as alternative sources for polymer synthesis, R&D, and industrial applications.
Yes. Our high-purity L-lactide can be evaluated as an alternative source to Corbion L-lactide grades. We recommend comparing your current specification or COA with our material parameters before qualification, particularly chemical purity, optical purity, moisture, and other application-critical requirements.
Yes. We supply L-lactide, D-lactide, and DL-lactide for customers looking for an additional or alternative lactide source. If you currently use a NatureWorks-related lactide specification, send us the required isomer and key specifications, and we can recommend the closest available grade.
Not necessarily. Lactide from different manufacturers should be technically evaluated before being treated as a drop-in replacement. Differences in purity, optical purity, moisture, residual acidity, and other trace impurities can affect polymerization and final polymer properties. We recommend laboratory-scale qualification before changing suppliers.
Please provide your current lactide type (L-, D-, or DL-lactide), required purity, optical purity, moisture limit, application, annual or batch quantity, and any other critical specifications. If available, you can also send your current TDS, COA, or purchasing specification so we can identify the closest suitable grade.
We can review your existing COA or material specification and compare the key parameters with our available lactide grades. For application-specific requirements, certain parameters may also be customized. Send us the specification and expected quantity for technical review.
We supply high-purity L-lactide, D-lactide, and DL-lactide for polymer synthesis, R&D, biomedical research, and industrial applications. Medical and industrial grades are available depending on the lactide type and application requirements.
Our medical-grade L-lactide, D-lactide, and DL-lactide are typically available at >99.5% purity. Industrial grades are also available for applications where different specification levels are acceptable. Detailed specifications can be provided for the grade you are evaluating.
Yes. Small evaluation quantities are available for customers who need to perform polymerization trials, material qualification, or comparison with their existing lactide supplier. Please send us the lactide type and quantity required for a quotation.
Yes. Our lactide grades can be used as monomers for PLA and related polymer synthesis. The appropriate L-, D-, or DL-lactide should be selected according to the required polymer stereochemistry, crystallinity, processing behavior, and final application.
