The information contained in this list is based on the solubility parameters for Gilsonite in weak, medium and strong hydrogen bonding solvents. Common industrial solvents were classed as either soluble, partially soluble or insoluble in Gilsonite at ambient temperatures based on the following solubility parameters for Gilsonite:
8.0 to 9.4 (cal/cm³)^1/2 | Weak hydrogen-bonding solvents |
Solvents more than 1.0 unit outside Gilsonite’s solubility parameter range are considered insoluble. Solvents less than 1.0 unit outside Gilsonite’s range are considered partially soluble. Solvents inside the range are considered soluble.
