HSP Application note #47
Design of solvents mixture by Hansen Solubility Parameter2010.7.29
HSPiP Team Senior Developer, Dr. Hiroshi Yamamoto
Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP)Hansen Solubility Parameters(HSP) were developed by Charles M. Hansen as a way of predicting if one material will dissolve in another and form a solution. They are based on the idea that "like dissolves like" where one molecule is defined as being 'like' another if it bonds to itself in a similar way. What can perhaps be surprising is that one can assign HSP to so many different things. Gases like carbon dioxide, solids like carbon-60, sugar, and biological materials like human skin, depot fat, DNA, and even some proteins all have HSP. The list can be continued with drugs, polymers, plasticizers, and in fact any organic material and even many inorganic materials like salts. The only requirement for an experimental confirmation is that the material must behave differently in a sufficient number of test solvents upon contact. Pirika JAVA Demo Applet calculate HSP. HSPLight is available here. |
HSP of Solvents mixture can calculate with this scheme.
HSP of Solvents Mixture[dDm, dPm, dHm]=[(a*dD1+b*dD2), (a*dP1+b*dP2),(a*dH1+b*dH2)]/(a+b) Volume base ratio. Pirika Java demo applet design solvents mixture. GSD is available here. |
So, if you have the target HSP[dDt, dPt, dHt], then we can arrange the ratio a:b so as to the mixture HSP [dDm, dPm, dHm] becomes near to the target.

Estasol [16.9, 4.7, 9.8] |
It is very easy to use. I have to input target HSP and push Search Button. Program search best ratio for every 21*20 combinations.HTML5 version.
For example, if I put HSP of Abietic Acid [17.6, 4.1, 5.9], then Search.
I can copy the results and can paste into spreadsheet software for further analysis. I can sort by HSP distance, for example.
HSP DistanceTo calculate the distance (Ra) between Hansen parameters in Hansen space the following formula is used: HSP distance(Ra)={4*(dD1-dD2)2 + (dP1-dP2)2 +(dH1-dH2)2 }0.5 |
Solv1 | Solv2 | Volume1 | distance |
Cumene | Rhodiasolv PRDE | 42 | 0.096 |
Anisole | Heptane | 89 | 0.338 |
Anisole | Pentane | 90 | 0.428 |
Anisole | Cumene | 85 | 0.542 |
Cumene | Tetrahydrofuran (THF) | 35 | 0.745 |
Anisole | Ethyl Ether | 89 | 0.826 |

Anisole | t-Butyl Methyl Ether | 89 | 0.881 |
Cumene | Ethanol | 73 | 0.907 |
Cumene | Estasol | 42 | 0.997 |
The most good solvents mixture is Cumene:Rhodiasolv=42:58.
Cumene:Estasol=42:58 is also very good.
If I want to search solvents mixture as user, it is very good idea to register my common using solvents and search.

If you are solvents manufacturer, you can sort by solvent. And you can recommend your customer solvents pair and ratio.
HSP distance vs solubility, I need check original data.
If you have Smiles structure and HSPiP software, Y-MB function will calculate HSP immediately.
Smiles(Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Syntax) SMILES is a string obtained by printing the symbol nodes encountered in a depth-first tree traversal of a chemical graph. Pirika JAVA Demo Applet getting Smiles. Draw2Smiles is available here. |
Y-MB Properties EstimationY-MB break Smiles into correspponding Functional Groups and Estimate various Properties. These estimation schemes are come from Pirika technologies. Pirika JAVA Demo Applet calculate Properties. PirikaLight is available here. |
Now the most big issue about the solvent is HCFCs.
HCFCs include Chlorine atoms but life time of these solvents are rather short and allowed to use.
But we have to quit them now.
How can we design HCFC-225 alternatives?
I just input [14.9, 3.5, 1] and push search button.

I will get these result in second.
If you are manufacturer of HFE, it is very good idea to advertise with this method.
HFE will appear everywhere.
If you are using HCF-225/organic solvent mixture (like above, volume ratio 70:30), then you just put target [13.8, 4.57, 6.39] and search.
