LACTIC ACID, COLD Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Lactic acid is an organic acid used in various industrial, food, and cosmetic applications. In its cold form, lactic acid is a colorless to yellowish liquid with a mild odor. It is used as a preservative, flavoring agent, and pH regulator in the food industry. In cosmetics, lactic acid is employed for its exfoliating and moisturizing properties. It is also used in the production of biodegradable plastics and as a chemical intermediate. Despite its benefits, lactic acid can cause skin and eye irritation. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage.
