The compatibility data of gilsonite given below has been derived from solubility parametersª. Resins are considered compatible when they have similar solubility parameters and are measured in the same solvents. Three hydrogen bonding classes were used to classify the solvents.
Solubility Parameters for Gilsonite | ||
Weak Hydrogen-bonding Solvents (hydrocarbons, halocarbons, nitro cpds) | 8.0 to 9.4 (cal/cm³)^1/2 7.8 to 8.2 (cal/cm³)^1/2 None | |
