Chemical resistance also solubility parameters

Additional examples of controlled adsorption are given in Reference 11, where the cohesion energy parameters for over 860 chemicals are given. There are also over 450 correlations for solubility, swelling, adsorption, chemical resistance, barrier properties, etc. 

Parameters describing a particular thermodynamic equilibrium system are derived from experimental quantities obtained by a variety of methods, for example, calorimetry, potentio-metry, and solubility studies. In the ideal case, critical examination of well-studied systems reveals high-quality experimental data that lead to a unique set of thermodynamic constants, which are internally consistent, not only formally, but also from a chemical point of view. In the course of our reviews, however, we encountered several cases of conflicting experimental data that resisted any attempt to cast them into a unique set of thermodynamic parameters. The following summarizes the conflicting data and our pragmatic solutions. 

Characteristic parameters of these binders, that is, (i) paraffin and (ii) silicone oils, are as follows (a) chemical inertness and electroinactivity, (b) high viscosity, (c) low volatility, (d) minimal solubility in water and aqueous solutions, and in some special applications also (e) resistivity toward common organic solvents.
