Sodium Lactate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- E325
- Lactic Acid Sodium Salt
- Sodium 2-Hydroxypropanoate
Sodium lactate supplier for food, personal-care, pharmaceutical and process manufacturers in Malaysia. Also listed as E325, lactic acid sodium salt and sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate, this organic salt is selected for humectancy, mild acidity control, buffering and moisture retention in formulated products.
Commercial supply is commonly an aqueous solution, often around 60% active subject to confirmation, with powder available for dry blends. Food, personal-care, pharmaceutical and technical grades are matched to the buyer's specification rather than treated as one interchangeable lot.
Food processors use food-grade sodium lactate in meat, poultry, bakery and prepared-food systems. Personal-care formulators select it as a humectant and buffer, while pharmaceutical and industrial buyers request suitable purity for electrolyte or process formulations.
Send the form, concentration, grade, quantity and delivery location with your sodium lactate enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Lactate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food grade sodium lactate solution | clear aqueous solution | — | Humectancy, mild acidity control and moisture retention in processed meats, poultry, bakery and other food systems labelled as E325 where a food-additive identity is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium lactate 60% solution | clear aqueous solution at about 60% active, subject to confirmation | — | Common commercial liquid strength for bulk food, personal-care and process dosing where buyers specify a 60% sodium lactate solution. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium lactate powder | white to off-white free-flowing powder | — | Dry blends, premixes and formulations where a solid salt is preferred over aqueous solution, provided the material is dried sodium lactate rather than a formulated blend. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Personal-care and technical grade sodium lactate | aqueous solution or powder according to grade | — | Humectant and pH-buffer systems in cosmetic and personal-care bases, plus industrial pH control and process formulations where a food-additive specification is not required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical grade sodium lactate | solution or solid matched to a stated specification | — | Formulated pharmaceutical or electrolyte systems selected against a monograph or buyer specification. Not a finished medical infusion product. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed and protect solutions from contamination and extreme temperature. Store powder dry and control dust during handling. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about sodium lactate
What is sodium lactate and is it the same as E325?
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid, also called lactic acid sodium salt or sodium 2-hydroxypropanoate. Food-grade material is coded E325. State form, concentration and grade in the enquiry because solution, powder and end-use grades are not interchangeable.
Should I request sodium lactate solution or powder?
Aqueous solution is the usual bulk form for food dosing, personal-care bases and process systems. Powder suits dry blends and moisture-sensitive work where a solid salt is preferred. Confirm that any powder offered is dried sodium lactate rather than a multi-component blend.
Is 60% sodium lactate the standard commercial strength?
About 60% active solution is a common trade strength, but buyers should still state the concentration on their specification. Do not assume every lot or offer is 60% until the quotation confirms the assay.
Is sodium lactate the same as lactic acid or calcium lactate?
No. Lactic acid is the free acid, and calcium lactate, potassium lactate and sodium diacetate are different salts or products. Request those materials on their own pages if they are what the process requires.
Which grade should a food or meat processor request?
Food grade E325 is typical for humectancy, mild acidity control and moisture retention in meat, poultry and prepared foods. Provide the application, preferred form or strength, any assay limits and documentation needs so the quoted grade can be matched.
What details are needed for a sodium lactate price enquiry?
Provide form, concentration if liquid, grade, target specification, quantity, preferred packing and delivery location. Mention documentation needs so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
