Zinc Lactate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Zinc 2-Hydroxypropanoate
- Zinc Bis(2-Hydroxypropanoate)
- Zn Lactate
Zinc lactate supplier for food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and personal-care buyers in Malaysia. Also known as zinc 2-hydroxypropanoate, it is a white crystalline zinc salt of lactic acid, commonly specified as zinc lactate dihydrate for formulation work.
Food and nutraceutical grades are selected as a zinc source in supplement and fortification products. Pharmaceutical grades are matched to the approved formula and impurity limits, while oral-care grades cover toothpaste, mouth rinse and selected personal-care systems that name zinc lactate.
Buyers should state the hydrate or moisture basis, zinc content, purity, particle size and any heavy-metal or microbiological controls required by the finished product. Zinc lactate is a separate material from zinc oxide, zinc sulphate, zinc gluconate and other zinc salts, so the exact identity matters at quotation.
Send the required grade, specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery arrangements and timing are confirmed with the quotation for the selected zinc lactate grade.

Common questions about zinc lactate
What is zinc lactate used for?
Zinc lactate is used as a zinc source in nutraceutical and food-supplement formulations, and as a raw material in pharmaceutical, toothpaste, mouth-rinse and selected personal-care products. The required grade depends on the finished formulation and quality standard.
Is zinc lactate the same as zinc oxide or zinc sulphate?
No. Zinc lactate, zinc oxide and zinc sulphate are different zinc compounds with separate compositions, solubility and specification profiles. State the exact salt named in the approved formula so a related zinc product is not quoted by mistake.
Which zinc lactate form should I request?
Commercial enquiries commonly specify zinc lactate dihydrate powder, but the hydrate or moisture basis should follow the approved formula and analytical method. Include the intended use and any zinc-content or loss-on-drying limit with the enquiry.
Can zinc lactate be used in oral-care formulations?
Yes. Oral-care and personal-care grades are used in formulations such as toothpaste and mouth rinse when zinc lactate is named as the raw material. State the product type, purity, particle-size and documentation requirements so the quoted grade can be assessed for the application.
What specification details should be included in an enquiry?
Provide the grade, hydrate basis, zinc content, purity, moisture, relevant impurity or heavy-metal limits, particle size, quantity and delivery location. Include microbiological or document requirements for food, pharmaceutical or oral-care use.
How is zinc lactate priced?
Price depends on grade, hydrate basis, quality specification, quantity and delivery location. Send the approved requirement for a quotation with a stated validity period and identify any required documentation.
