Characteristics of GOHSENOL

Solubility by Grade
Water solubility of GOHSENOL is different grade by grade. Generally speaking, lower viscosity grades dissolve more readily (higher solution speed). However, as water solubility notably depends upon the saponification degree, be sure to refer to the "HOW TO USE GOHSENOL" page.

Fully saponified type (N type) and quasi-fully saponified type (A type) :
These types only swell in, and hardly dissolve into, cold water but dissolve into high temperature water.
Partially saponified types (G and K types) :
The lower the saponification degree, the lower the temperature of water they are able to dissolve in.

Solubility into mixed solvents
