Understanding the intrinsic properties of Lactose (CAS 63-42-3) is fundamental for its effective utilization in various industries. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we emphasize the importance of detailed product knowledge for our clients, ensuring safe and efficient handling of this essential compound.

Lactose, appearing as white crystals or powder, possesses a distinct molecular formula (C12H22O11) and a molecular weight of 342.34. Its solubility in water is moderate, approximately 5-10 g/100 mL at 20 °C, and its density is 1.76 g/cm³. These characteristics are critical for formulators and chemists when designing processes or developing new products. The melting point of lactose is high, and it decomposes at temperatures above 200°C, requiring careful consideration during processing and storage. Its high boiling point of 667.9 °C at 760 mmHg further indicates its thermal stability under standard conditions.

Proper handling and storage of lactose are crucial to maintain its quality and purity. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. As a fine chemical intermediate and pharmaceutical excipient, protecting its integrity from moisture and contaminants is essential. Adherence to safety data sheets (SDS) is paramount, providing comprehensive information on potential hazards, protective measures, and emergency procedures. For example, the flash point of 357.8 °C suggests low flammability under normal conditions.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that all our lactose products, including those with a purity of 99%, are handled and stored according to strict industry guidelines. We provide comprehensive product specifications and safety information to our clients, supporting the safe use of lactose white crystals or powder in their manufacturing processes. By prioritizing the understanding and adherence to these chemical and handling properties, we help our clients achieve optimal results when utilizing lactose with the molecular formula C12H22O11.
