Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

The density of a concentrated aqueous solution of lactic acid (as manufactured) is ca. 1.2 g/cm³.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.2

Additional information

Density of a concentrated solution of lactic acid depends on the concentration and temperature, but also on the degree of (spontaneous, reversible) polymerisation of lactic acid. The density at maximum purity of concentrated aqueous lactic acid is ca 1.2 g/cm³.
