D-lactic Acid
D-lactic acid is a chemical substance. The molecular formula is C3H6O3. D-lactic acid is a lactic acid with high optical rotation (chirality) produced by bio-fermentation technology using carbohydrates similar to sugar. The finished product of D-lactic acid is a colorless or light yellow clear viscous liquid with a slightly sour taste; it is hygroscopic and the aqueous solution shows an acidic reaction. It can be mixed with water, ethanol or ether arbitrarily, insoluble in chloroform.

Market perspective
D-lactic acid is a chemical substance. The molecular formula is C3H6O3. D-lactic acid is a lactic acid with high optical rotation (chirality) produced by bio-fermentation technology using carbohydrates similar to sugar.

It can be mixed with water, ethanol or ether arbitrarily, insoluble in chloroform.
D lactic acid is an emerging industry in China, and the market growth point is coming. However, what restricts the current market is that downstream demand is not sufficiently saturated, and on the other hand, the scale of upstream raw material production is too small. As a result, the output scale of downstream polylactic acid enterprises lags far behind foreign giants. In terms of regions, Europe and China are the two largest producers of D lactic acid, while China still maintains a leading position in terms of regional consumption. At the same time, Europe is also the world's largest export region. Through export and agency, Corbion products have been sold all over the world.
