N type: Only swells and barely dissolves in cold water, but dissolves in hot water (90°C or higher).

G and K types: Dissolves in cold water. For faster dissolution, heating is recommended. For the K type, white turbidity or precipitation occurs at high temperatures due to the cloud point phenomenon.

Solubility in water-methanol mixtures

GOHSENOL™ also dissolves in a mixed solvent of water and lower alcohol at low concentrations. It dissolves more easily in solvents of high alcohol concentration at lower saponification and lower polymerization.
