Appendix A: Table A.2

COMMENTS TO TABLE A.2
Documentation for the sources of data used for the HSP correlations is given in the following. The
quality of the entries is sometimes less than desired because of the data being too few, too limited
in scope and range of HSP, or for other reasons discussed in the text, such as the influence of
molecular weight (molecular volume) of the test solvents in the given study. All entries have been
included (with some apologies) as they have some value in terms of estimating, however.

POLYMERS 1–109
These polymers are listed in Reference 1 with suppliers. This report from the Scandinavian Paint
and Printing Ink Research Institute updates an earlier one from 1982. The institute no longer exists.
See also Reference 2.

POLYMER 110
This is an intermediate value for the permeation of chemicals through Challenge® materials [3].
See also Table 13.1 and Figure 13.2. Improved values are found below in 141 and 142. This
correlation was based on few data to help locate additional solvents for testing. Results from tests
with these then resulted in the correlations below.

POLYMERS 111–112
These are correlations of true solubilities for the DOW epoxy Novolacs 438 and 444.

POLYMERS 113–114
These are correlations of the chemical resistance of coatings based on inorganic zinc silicate and
a two component epoxy produced by Hempel’s Marine Paints. Data taken from resistance tables.

POLYMER 115
The data are solubilities determined for PVDF with the correlation being previously published in [4].

POLYMER 116
Data for coal tar pitch generated for the solubility of the solids not dissolved in some cases where
the solution was darkened with only partial solution.

POLYMERS 117–140
Permeation correlations for chemical protective clothing described in detail in Reference 5. See
also Chapter 13, Table 13.1.

486 Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User’s Handbook

POLYMERS 141–142
Final permeation correlations for Challenge® 5100 and 5200 materials. Data from Reference 3
where there is considerable discussion. See also Chapter 13, Table 13.1, and Figure 13.2.

POLYMERS 143–144
These correlations are based on which solvents dissolve PVDC at elevated temperatures and use
data from Wessling [6]. These were additionally used to check new calculations for solubility
parameters of the solvents where these were lacking.

POLYMERS 145–148
These chemical resistance data for PES (ICI-Victrex®) and PPS (Philips-Ryton®) were based on
supplier data sheets and are reported in Reference 7.

Polymers 149–160
These correlations for many common plastics types are based on the resistance tables reported in
the PLASTGUIDE (1989) published by the Danish company Dukadan, which no longer exists.
A single correlation for the solubility of PA 6,6 is based on its solubility only with data from
Reference 8.

POLYMER 161
Beerbower treated several sets of data and made correlations of swelling and solubility (and other
phenomena). This one is for polyvinyl silane.

POLYMERS 162–163
These correlations for swelling of cellophane and solubility of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer
are based on data generated at NIF (Scandinavian Paint and Printing Ink Research Institute).

POLYMERS 164–167
These are supplementary breakthrough time correlations for Saranex®, Safety 4® 4H, and polyvi-
nylalcohol protective gloves. See also Reference 5 and Chapter 13. Elimination of plasticizer data
for the 4H gloves improved predictability for lower molecular weight materials.

POLYMERS 168–181
These correlations for common polymer types are based on data in resistance tables in the Modern
Plastics Encyclopedia in the 1984/1985 issue [9]. Such data are not always sufficiently encom-
passing to allow good correlations.

POLYMER 182
Correlation based on high temperature solvents for ECTFE.

POLYMER 183
Data for this correlation of solubility of polyacrylonitrile were taken from the Polymer Handbook
[10], Table of solvents and nonsolvents, p. VII/385-VII/386. See also Chapter 5, Table 5.3.

7248_A002.fm Page 487 Wednesday, May 23, 2007 12:53 PM

Appendix A: Table A.2 487

POLYMERS 184–186
Data for this correlation are the tendency of Polyethylene imide (PEI) (GE Ultem®) to environmental
stress crack (ESC) at different stress/strain levels. These data were generated by General Electric
as published in the Modern Plastics Encyclopedia 1984/1985 [9].

POLYMERS 187–224
The Handbook of Solubility Parameters and Other Cohesion Parameters [11] as well as the Polymer
Handbook [12] included so-called “solvent range” data. Solvents were divided into groups of poor,
moderate, and strong hydrogen bonding, and many experiments were run. The correlations show
that not all the data were well taken, but a reasonable indication is possible. The full Hansen
solubility parameter system is not covered very well by this limited solubility data. These polymers
are included in Reference 11, Table 1, on page 280. Heating samples to speed up the solution
process was also done. This can easily lead to errors.

POLYMERS 225–346
These entries have the same problem as those in 187–224 in that the data are sometimes questionable
and not sufficient enough to do what has been done, i.e. convert solvent range data to Hansen
solubility parameter spheres. These entries cover the acrylics, polyesters, polystyrenes, vinyls, and
miscellaneous categories. Some categories are not yet included. Data on page 281-289 (Table 2)
in Reference 11.

Polymer 347
These values for VYHH® (Union Carbide) were taken from Reference 1.

POLYMER 348
This questionable correlation for PVF includes only one solvent as being good [13].

POLYMER 349
Data on PES true solubility taken by author. See Chapter 5 and Table 5.4.

POLYMERS 350–358
These entries are not all polymers but mostly biological materials with the source of data being [14].

POLYMER 359
The solubility of cholesterol, data collected by the author. See Chapter 15.

POLYMER 360
Solubility data generated by high school students as part of project. Included in Reference 4. Source
of chlorophyll was crushed leaves.

Polymer 361
Correlation on strength of paper immersed in different solvents reported in Reference 4. Data was
taken from Reference 15.

488 Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User’s Handbook

POLYMER 362
Solubility of ULTRASON® PES has been reported by BASF in their product data. These data were
combined with supplementary solubility data for this correlation. Also reported in Reference 16.
See Chapter 5.

POLYMERS 363–364
Chemical resistance of BAREX® 210 from data in BP Chemicals datasheet. Styrene is an outlier
in the first, whereas its removal from consideration gives a perfect fit and presumably a more useful
correlation.

POLYMERS 365–367
These data were generated in connection with a lecture to the Nordic Conservation Congress in
Copenhagen [17]. All give perfect fits, partly because of too few data, but the correlations can be
useful. Paraloid B72 and Dammar are used as protective lacquers.

POLYMERS 368–369
These correlations divide the permeation coefficients given in Reference 18 into >80 and >0.8,
respectively. The units are (g x mm)/(m2 x d). The fits are good. See Chapter 13.

POLYMERS 370–371
These are correlations of experimental solubility data for the Rhône-Poulenc reactive isocyanates
Tolonate® HDT (which gave the same result as Tolonate® HDT-LV) and Tolonate® HDB (which
gave the same results as Tolonate® HDB-LV). The fits were perfect and the numbers reasonable.
The data could not include alcohol or amine solvents because of reactions.

POLYMERS 372–389
The data correlated for these 18 rubbers are from a RAPRA database [19]. The information used
was satisfactory or unsatisfactory, all other information such as limited suitability was neglected.
No precise weight gain or other information is available, just the general suitability or not.
The values in parentheses are (data fit/number of solvents).

ACM acrylate rubbers (.981/55)

ECO epichlorohydrin rubbers (.988/37)
CSM chlorosulphonated polyethylene rubber (.906/53)
E ebonite (.722/41)

EPDM ethylene-propylene terpolymer (.968/51)
FQ fluorosilicone rubber (.844/40)
FKM hexafluoroprop.-vinylidine fluoride copol. (Viton) (.769/50)
NR natural rubber (1.000/59)
NBR nitrile rubber (.990/65)

Appendix A: Table A.2 489

SBR styrene butadiene rubber (.942/54)

TFP tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymer (.744/26)

POLYMERS 390–412
These correlations use data from the RAPRA collection of data on chemical resistance for plastics
[20]. Approach same as for RAPRA rubber data just above.

POLYMERS 413–450
These data are from the collected report of the EC project on self-stratifying coatings reported in
a full issue of Progress in Organic Coatings. The specific reference is Reference 21. The evaluations
were made at different concentrations in many cases. Some alkyds were omitted here.

POLYMERS 451–452
These data are for strong swelling of two different film samples of brominated butyl rubber.

POLYMER 453
The correlation is based on strong swelling of a film of polyisoprene.

POLYMERS 454–458
These correlations are based on chemical resistance data from Reference 22.

POLYMER 459
Correlation based on solubility of Ethylene Vinylacetate adhesive EVA 4055.

POLYMER 460
Correlation based on solubility of Topas® 6013 from Ticona GmbH (Hoechst AG).

POLYMER 461
Correlation based on solubility of CZ® Resin from the West Company.

POLYMER 462
An older correlation for the solubility of Kauri Gum, used in the Kauri-Butanol test, was made
with a data fit of 0.95 for the standard solvents.

POLYMER 463
The data for the solubility of polyvinylpyrrolidone used in this correlation are found in Reference
23. The data fit was 0.992, but as with many water soluble polymers, there is a considerable
extrapolation into the “unknown” where there are no liquids.

ENTRY 464
The data fit for the correlation of solubility of palm oil with the standard set of solvents was 0.992.

490 Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User’s Handbook

ENTRY 465
This is a correlation of the solubility of a fungicide and algaecide called Bethoxazin using solubility
data in 19 liquids from Reference 24. The data fit was 0.976.

ENTRY 466
This is a correlation for the solubility of carbon-60 at a given small level as reported in Reference
25; 15 of the 87 liquids were considered as “good” giving a data fit of 0.972.
