Product range - Services / Brands / Markets
Galactic produces and markets a complete range of products and derivatives including:
- various grades of lactic acids (Galacid),
- calcium lactates (Galaxium),
- sodium and potassium lactates (Galaflow),
- iron, magnesium, aluminium and zinc lactates (Galanium)
- ethyl lactates (Galaster).
- organic acid blends based on sodium/potassium acetates and diacetates (Galimax)
- and PLA which is 100% biodegradable plastic.
Lactic acid and its derivatives are mainly used as a preservative in the food industry (meat, poultry, fish, tinned food, drinks, sauces, etc.). In addition, they are used in other fields of application such as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as well as the nutritional supplements market. They also have many industrial applications (solvents, paints etc.).
Added Value
Galactic employs a diversified research team of around twenty chemistry and biochemistry specialists.
This multi-disciplinarity enables Galactic to develop “tailor-made” solutions for its customers.
Galactic is committed to the concept of “green chemistry”, a chemistry that protects the economic, social and environmental balance of the planet to ensure sustainable development. Given the growing scarcity of oil resources, it is now a priority research area focusing on the development of 100% natural lactic acid alternatives. These solutions are at least equal in performance to expensive petroleum- based solutions, and respect the environment.
