Low Saponification PVOH LL Series

GOHSENX™ LL Series

A low degree of saponification PVOH that hardly dissolves in water.
GOHSENX™ LL dissolves in organic solvents and mixture solutions.
GOHSENX™ LL is used worldwide as a hot melt adhesive, providing the property of melting at relatively low temperatures, besides suspension aids for vinyl polymerization.

Structural formula

Structural formula LL series

Properties
Dissolves in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, methyl acetate, and acetone, and aqueous mixture solution.
Melts at 100℃ to 180℃ and allows hot melt coating and adhesion.

Other Precautions
GOHSENX™ LL series is a stable polymer compound, and does not usually putrefy, decompose, or depolymerize.
However, owing to its lower glass transition point, the particles conglomerate when stored at high temperature / humidity and under a heavy load. Keep the above in mind especially storage in sumer or rainy seasons.
