Properties
Appearance Clear, amber highly viscous liquid
Solubility Glissopal SA is soluble in aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Application
Glissopal SA is based on chlorine-free highly reactive polyisobu-
tene with a molecular weight of Mn = 1000. As a result, Glis-
sopal SA has a higher level of functionality and a substantially
higher purity level than PIBSAs based on standard polyisobutene.
These qualities make Glissopal SA an ideal raw material for
highly selective reaction processes. Glissopal SA is specially
optimized to have a low bismaleination value for producing emul-
sifiers
Performance Chemicals
Storage and Handling It is recommended that Glissopal SA be stored and handled at
temperatures from 80°C to 100°C. Carbon steel, stainless steel,
polypropylene or teflon can be used for storage tanks and injec-
tion systems. Nitrogen blanketing is recommended for long term
storage, but not required for shipping or handling for short periods
of time.
Safety
Precautions
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practices. The work place should be adequately ventilated.
Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for detailed infor-
mation on safety.
