D(+)-Lactide/D-Lactide CAS 13076-17-0

D(+)-Lactide(CAS:13076-17-0) is an important organic chemical intermediate and polymer synthesis monomer, with the following main uses:

1.D(+)-Lactide can be used to polymerize into polylactic acid(PLA): D(+)-Lactide is a cyclic diester of lactic acid that can undergo ring opening polymerization under the action of a catalyst to produce high molecular weight poly-D-lactic acid(PDLA). This is a biodegradable biobased plastic widely used in packaging materials, textile fibers, 3D printing consumables, and other fields.
2.D(+)-Lactide can be used as a monomer for medical polymer materials: In the field of biomedicine, D(+)-Lactide is used to synthesize medical grade polylactic acid, such as sutures, drug delivery carriers, tissue engineering scaffolds, etc., due to its good biocompatibility and degradability.
3.Research application: D(+)-Lactide is used as a chiral monomer or reagent for basic research in polymer chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and other fields, such as synthesizing block copolymers and studying polymerization mechanisms.

D(+)-Lactide should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight or light to prevent photodegradation.
D(+)-Lactide is sensitive to moisture and should be avoided from contact with moisture, acids, bases, or alcohol reagents to prevent hydrolysis or polymerization.
