HSP, a mighty tool for formulation applications
Executive summary
Many practical chemical products are actually formulations, i.e. sophisticated mixtures of numerous compounds that can be liquids or solids.
How to select them efficiently without costly and time-consuming tests?
Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) are one of the most used prediction tools to perform such selections. The HSP define the material properties in three dimensions, the disperse, the polar and the hydrogen-bonding properties which are used by formulators to predict the compatibility of compounds in mixture. However, the HSP...
