Gujpol-DP powders are soluble in aromatic
hydrocarbons retones, esters, etc. The Common
solvents 9Te ethyl acetate, ethylene,
(dichloride, trichloroethylene,> chloroform,
toluene, chlobenzene, toluene, ch1orobenzene,
jsopropanol, carbon tetrachloride cyclohexane,
acitic acid, methyl isobutyrate PM Acetate,
Butanol, Ethanol, Diacetone Alcohol, etc.,
Normally more than one solvents 3I"e used in
order to control solid content (concentration)
dissolution rate. evaporation rate, flash points
and cost of resultant solution.
Also there are number of
coating applications when the optimum
combination ot: hardness and extensibility may
be achieved by use of external plasticizers. The
common plasticizers for acrylic resins are :
Butyl benzyl phthalate. Dibutyl Phthalate.
Dicyclo hexyl Phthalate. 2-ethyllli;xyl benxyl
phthlate, Diallyl phthalate, Dibenzyl phthB1ate,
Butyl cyclo 'to hexyl phthalate, di (methylcyclobexyl)
phthalate, di (butyl carbital) phthalate,
Hexamethylene bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate,
Dibenzyl sebacate, Triphenyl phosphate,
Tricresyl phosphate, Toluene ethyl sulfornamiw,
Mixed benzonic, Fatty oii acid esters of
pentaerythritol, Poly (propylene adipate)
dibenzote. Diethylene glycol dibenzonatge,
Tetrabutyl thi odisucci nate, Butyl phthalate
butyl glycolate, Acetyl tributyl citrate.
Dissolution Procedure
All the precautions
necessary while handling solvents should be
adhered to while dissolving Gujpol-DP in solvent
(s).
Gujpol-DP dissolves in solvents at room
temperature but require constant agitation to
prevent Solvent swollen granules of polymer
forming agglomerates and sticking to the walls
of the vessel. Sometimes heating (indirect) cut
down the time required for dissolution.
Generally 15 -30% solutions are prepared
Use of jacketted vessel is recommended when
heating is to be used for reducing dissolution
time. If required, indirect heating is applied
so as to maintain temperature around 50 C.
Stirring should continue until a clear solution
forms. Any cloudiness or residue may indicate
that some polymer remains un dissolved The
presence of water in the system can also cause
cloudiness. |
