GOHSENX LW

Properties

The Trend of Cloud Points of GOHSENX LW at Various Resin Concentrations in an Aqueous Solution

Cloud points in aqueous solution were evaluated between 5% – 40% PVOH content. Each test run was performed using an integrating-sphere turbidimeter (Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.), with a temperature increase rate of 1 degree C/min, thereby the temperature at which coagulation/precipitation of poval started in aqueous solution was measured.

The State of GOHSENX LW Solution
The dependency of the state of the solution (whether or not precipitation occurs) on the concentration was measured by allowing aqueous GOHSENX LW solution to stand at 30 degree C.

Although the results somewhat vary depending on the saponification degree of the sample, the aqueous GOHSENX LW solution remains stable through a relatively high concentration range. However, the lower the concentration in aqueous solution, the more prone it is to precipitation.

The Trend of Viscosity in Water or Methanol
Using a Brookfield viscometer, the variation in viscosity was measured with 40% aqueous solution and 40% methanol solution kept at 25 degree C and was evaluated.

Solubility/Liquid Absorbing Property
GOHSENX LW products have, in their molecular structure both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion. They can be dissolved in or absorb water, and various polar organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethylene glycol and DMSO.
