Solubility parameters, 50% resin concentration: 7,0-11,8 in Class I solvents - weakly hydrogen-bonded; 7,4-11,3 in Class II solvents - moderately hydrogen-bonded; 9,5-12,7 in Class III solvents - strongly hydrogen-bonded.
Foralyn™ 5020-F Ester of Hydrogenated Rosin material will remain within product specification limits for a period of at least twelve months after shipment from Eastman production facilities in the Netherlands, provided recommended storage conditions are observed. However, as we can neither anticipate the conditions under which the resin is processed nor the end use applications for which it is used, we recommend that the material be tested upon receipt.
