DL-Lactide imagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga 2-hydroxy-propionic acid 1-(1-phenyl-ethoxycarbonyl) -ethyl ester. Imakhala ngati zopangira zofunikira komanso zapakatikati zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga organic synthesis, mankhwala, agrochemicals ndi utoto. Imakhudzidwa ndi enzymatic alcoholysis kupanga alkyl (R) -lactates ndi alkyl (S,S) -lactyllactates.
DL-Lactide nthawi zambiri imagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chotchinga chotchinga pamabala, kapena ngati anangula, zomangira kapena mauna pakuchita opaleshoni, chifukwa imawonongeka pakadutsa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi kukhala lactic acid wosavulaza.
