Solubility
HPC is soluble in water, water-free lower alcohols and
polar solvents. Solutions are transparent and have a smooth
feel. Solubility in organic solvents is limited only by the
viscosity increase.
Soluble
Water, Methyl alcohol, Ethyl alcohol, Isopropyl
alcohol, Pyridine, Cyclohexanone, Cellosolve,
Acetic acid
Hazy
Acetone, Tertiary butanol , Dioxane, Cyclohexanol,
Cyclohexanol, Lactic acid, Methyl ethyl ketone
Insoluble
Aliphatic hydrocarbons, Benzene, Xylene,
Glycerin, Toluene, Gasoline

Viscosity Change
Viscosity of HPC in aqueous solution is virtually unchanged in pH range from 1-12. HPC viscosity is also unaffected by UV
irradiation. Viscosity change caused by change in HPC concentration or change in temperature are shown in fgures below.
