Ethyl lactate is a colorless, clear ester with a distinctive odor that is miscible with water and many solvents. It is biodegradable and has garnered attention as an organic solvent with extremely low environmental impact in work environments and in the event of spills. Due to its high boiling point and low volatility, it is used not only as an ink and polymer solvent but also as a resist solvent for semiconductor manufacturing and for cleaning during liquid crystal panel manufacturing processes. 【Features】 - A colorless, clear liquid with a faint aroma similar to that of high-grade alcohol - Contains hydroxyl and ester groups in its molecule, making it miscible with water and most solvents - Exhibits a very wide solubility for natural and synthetic resins, synthetic fibers, etc. - When blended with mixed solvents, it can improve extensibility and enhance workability - Its relatively slow evaporation rate allows for use as a high-boiling-point solvent - An ultra-high-purity solvent with low metal content and a rich track record of adoption in electronic materials *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Sodium pyruvate" is a stable white crystalline salt of pyruvic acid. It has a high solubility in water and is more stable than pyruvic acid. It is widely used as a raw material for amino acids and as a component of culture media. Additionally, sodium pyruvate is expected to be applied in intravenous solutions and other uses, as it does not go through the glycolytic pathway when supplying energy to cells. 【Features】 ■ Highly stable white crystalline substance ■ High solubility in water, more stable than pyruvic acid ■ Applications in intravenous solutions and others ■ Does not go through the glycolytic pathway ■ Used as a raw material for amino acids and as a component of culture media *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
