Technical Details & Test Data
- Density Data
Liquid density The density of the liquid can be used as a quick reference to check the concentration of the material. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Density of Dissolvine® GL plotted against GLDA-Na4 concentration based on GL-38, GL-47-S and GL Premium.
- Viscosity Data
Viscosity is an important parameter for handling products and is dependent on concentration and temperature. Figure 2 shows the viscosity of various concentrations of GLDA-Na4 solutions as a function of temperature.
