Description of key information
The boiling point of crystalline lactic acid is 122 °C at 15 mmHg.
A calculation of the boiling point at 1013 hPa with QSAR indicates a boiling point of 216.6 °C. The QSAR result is selected as the key value for safety assessment since relating to pure substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 216.6 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
