Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

The vapour pressure of lactic acid at room temperature is negligible (0.038 hPa, worst-case from two QSAR calculations).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Vapour pressure:
0.038 hPa
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Pure, crystalline lactic acid has an estimated vapour pressure of 0.0286 mm Hg (worst-case from two QSAR calculations). The vapour pressure of a 93% aqueous solution of lactic acid will be dominated by the vapour pressure of the water present in the solution, up to the boiling point of the solution.
