How to Use GOHSENOL™
Dissolution
By dissolving GOHSENOL™ in water, transparent and viscous aqueous solutions are obtained.
Dissolution temperature changes according to the saponification value.
A typical dissolution method of each type is shown below.
- N- and A-type GOHSENOL™
- Pour GOHSENOL™ into room-temperature water under agitation so that it disperses in the water.
Then, heat the solution under continued agitation. Keep the temperature above 90℃ under agitation for 30 – 60 minutes until complete dissolution. - G-type GOHSENOL™
- Pour GOHSENOL™ into room-temperature water little by little under agitation so that it disperses in the water.
Then, heat the solution under continued agitation. Keep the temperature between 80 and 90℃ under agitation for 30 – 60 minutes until complete dissolution.
Be sure to avoid rapid temperature increase, as this causes drastic foaming. - K-type GOHSENOL™
- Like G-type GOHSENOL™ slowly pour GOHSENOL™ into room-temperature water little by little under continued agitation so that it disperses in the water. Then, heat the solution under agitation and keep the temperature between 70 - 75 ℃ under agitation for 30 - 60 minutes until complete dissolution.
Pay full attention to the temperature as dissolving time will significantly increase over 80 ℃
Be sure to avoid rapid temperature increase, as this causes drastic foaming.
The solution may become cloudy (clouding point) at 40 - 75℃, but it will become transparent again when cooled. - Precautions for Dissolution
- Adding a large quantity of GOHSENOL™ at once may create undissolved lumps.
Make it sure to use room temperature water and add GOHSENOL™ little by little under agitation.
Additionally, be careful to raise the temperature of the solution after checking the dispersal of GOHSENOL™ particles.
