DL-Lactide CAS 95-96-5

1.DL-Lactide(CAS 95-96-5) is a biodegradable monomer primarily used to synthesize amorphous poly(DL-lactide) (PDLLA) for biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems and implants.
2.The compound is polymerized via ring-opening polymerization(ROP) with catalysts like stannous octoate to produce polylactic acid(PLA), a renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
3.DL-Lactide serves as a building block for copolymers (e.g., PLGA) used in medical devices, packaging materials, and as a reference standard for analytical testing.

DL-Lactide is moisture sensitive, store in a tightly sealed container under -20°C.

1.Isolate the spill area, wear a dust mask and protective equipment, and sweep up solid DL-Lactide using spark-proof tools into sealed, labeled containers.
2.Absorb DL-Lactide CAS 95-96-5 with dry inert material like sand if needed, prevent entry into drains or waterways, and wash the spill site with water after collection.
3.Personnel cleaning DL-Lactide spills must dispose of waste according to environmental regulations; use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide for fire extinguishing.

1.DL-Lactide is classified with GHS signal word "Warning" and causes serious eye irritation (H319), skin irritation (H315), and may cause respiratory irritation (H335).
2.DL-Lactide is stable under recommended storage conditions but decomposes in contact with water; thermal decomposition produces toxic fumes including carbon oxides.
