High optical purity D-lactide
D-Lactide is a biodegradable resin monomer that is dimerized from high optical purity D-lactic acid. It is in the D form, not the L form. It can be used as a polymer grade made from high optical purity D-lactic acid with low amounts of moisture and acid. By using it as a monomer, it can contribute to the development of new biodegradable materials and biocompatible resins for medical applications and packaging materials. Japan Materials Research Institute also manufactures D-lactic acid and is advancing the development of poly D-lactic acid. We possess the technology for the synthesis of lactic acid to poly lactic acid, so please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. 【Features】 ■ D-lactic acid of high optical purity produced from plant-derived materials is dimerized. ■ Can be used as a polymer grade. ■ By combining poly D-lactide, which is polymerized from D-lactide, with conventional poly L-lactide, a stereocomplex is formed. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
