LACTOCHEMISTRY®
LACTOCHEMISTRY® is a new chemical concept based on a fully natural raw material: lactic acid and lactic-based materials like ethyl lactate and lactide.
GALACTIC’s aim is to develop natural solutions for improving the future of the fields in
which we are active.
Replacing harmful products by natural ones will improve
everybody’s well-being.
From the simple supply of ultra-pure building blocks (see our product list)
to a joint development of a lacto-chemical reaction or a new molecule, we are your partner.

team will find out your answer!
Lactic acid offers hundreds of chemical reactions:
- highly reactive
- has a weak acidity and
- is available in liquid and crystalline form
Lactic acid allows hundreds of chemical reactions:
esterification, condensation, oxidation, reductions, substitution, ...
Lactic acid allows hundreds of chemical reactions
Lactic acid is optically active
Being optically active, lactic acid is available in its levorotatory or dextrorotatory
forms (L or D ; + or - ; R or S).
Optically active
Lactic acid: the lowest CO2 footprint
- natural (most widely occurring hydroxyl-carboxylic acid)
- green
- non toxic & environmentally friendly
- biocompatible: naturally present in human body (Cori cycle)
- biodegradable
- sustainable: derived from renewable carbohydrate
The production of lactic acid does not generate emission of CO2.
