Description of key information
The boiling point of crystalline lactic acid is 122 °C at 15 mmHg (= 20 hPa). Concentrated aqueous solutions of lactic acid have boiling ranges between 120 and 130 °C. The boiling point of pure lactic acid at atmospheric pressure is estimated to be 216.6 °C (QSAR calculation).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 216.6 °C
Additional information
The boiling point of crystalline lactic acid is 122 °C at 15 mmHg (= 20 hPa). Concentrated aqueous solutions of lactic acid have boiling ranges between 120 and 130 °C. The boiling point of pure lactic acid at atmospheric pressure is estimated to be 216.6 °C (QSAR calculation). The latter is considered to be the most reliable value, in view of the substance properties (polymerisation at high concentrations in water, thus experimental limitations).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
