Compatibility and Solubility

Compatible at all ratios, or in limited but practically useful proportions, with a wide variety of materials, including SBR and SBR block copolymers; neoprene, nitrile, polybutadiene, and acrylic polymers; chlorinated rubber; EVA resins (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers); styrenated, vinylated, and drying oil alkyds; rosin resins; and EHEC (ethyl-hydroxy-ethylcellulose)

Soluble in aliphatic, aromatic, and chlorinated hydrocarbons; esters; and ketones. Insoluble in alcohols and glycols.

Packaging

Flake, in multi-wall paper bags (50 lbs, 22.7 kgnet wt).

Storage

Because of the extremely large surface area they present, flaked and crushed forms of resins are prone to gradual oxidation, some more than others. This could result in darkening and/or could have an adverse effect on solubility of the resin in organic solvents. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that strict control of inventory be observed at all times, taking care that the oldest material is used first.
