Solubility by Grade

Water solubility of GOHSENOL™ varies by grade. Lower viscosity grades usually dissolve easily (high dissolution rate). However, solubility also substantially varies depending on the degree of saponification. Please be sure to refer to the “How to Use GOHSENOL™” page.

Fully saponified type (N type) and quasi-fully saponified type (A type):
These types only swell, with almost no dissolution in cold water, but dissolve in hot water.

Partially saponified types (G and K types, etc.):
These types dissolve at lower temperatures as the degree of saponification decreases.

For example, the following chart shows the solubility of GOHSENOL™ in water-methanol mixtures.
