Applications of GOHSENX™

Emulsifier
Water resistant bonding strength EM will be produced by using Gohsenx™ Z as emulsifier for vinyl acetate EM compared with conventional PVOH.
Coating Agent
Gohsenx™ Z is applied as coating agent for thermal printing paper, ink jet printing paper and so on, as increasing demand for coated and non-coated paper which require water resistant strength.
Adhesive and Binder
Gohsenx™ Z can use as adhesive and binder since excellent adhere and water resistance.

(2)Apparent graft ratio: An emulsion film was air-dried at 20℃, treated with acetone at 40℃ for 8 hrs and with hot water at 80℃ for 8 hrs, and the extraction-residue was calculated.
(3)In the water proof adhesion test, 100g/m2 of emulsion was applied to each face of birch specimens. The specimens were then glued together and pressed for 24 hrs at 200 gf/cm². After depressurizing, the resultant sample was left to stand for 24 hrs. This sample was used as a test piece. The test piece was immersed in boiling water and the time needed for the bonded faces to come apart was measured.

Dissolution and Storage

Dissolving GOHSENX™ Z
Put GOHSENX™ Z into room temperature water while stirring the water. Heat the water immediately while constantly and continuously stirring the water, and keep it at 90℃ to 95℃ for 30 to 60 minutes until complete dissolution.
Storing GOHSENX™ Z
The properties of a GOHSENX™ Z aqueous solution may change (e.g. its viscosity may increase) if stored for a long period of time. Color changes or viscosity increase may also be induced by rust or metallic ions entering the solution.
Note
  • ・When mixing GOHSENX™ Z with defoaming agents, anticorrosives, antiseptics, or other chemicals, follow the handling instructions of these chemicals.
  • ・Avoid storage in a hot, humid area as the product may incur blocking or its properties may change.
  • ・GOHSENX ™ Z is stable when stored at moderate temperature; however, GOHSENX ™Z has a functional group that makes the product chemically quite reactive, and contamination of other chemicals may cause the product to become insoluble or form gel.
