Biobased solvents
If you’re looking to replace organic and halogenated solvents for industrial and consumer applications look no further than PURASOLV® - our range of esters of L-lactic acid.

Buffering
When it comes to reducing pH variation in your products, lactic acid is ideal for buffering – helping you maintain product stability and shelf life. Not only is it biobased, but as a buffering agent, lactic acid has a pH value lower than five.
