This table is provided as an information service by Diversified Enterprises. This table highlights the surface tension and Hansen Solubility Parameters of a variety of solvents and other liquids. An analogous table, which also includes viscosity and specific density data, can be seen here. If you are concerned with formulation problems which involve surface wetting, solubility, and viscosity control, you may wish to consult both tables. Each one can be sorted by column — just click on the column header as desired to re-order this printable table. Some print software will automatically scale this page so that it prints well with “portrait” orientation. If your printer doesn't have this feature, you will want to change your print set-up to “landscape” orientation prior to printing. If there are additional solvents or other liquids that you think we should add to this collection — especially if you can provide data with citations — please e-mail us to let us know. print this sort order (table only) Surface Tension, Hansen Solubility Parameters, Molar Volume, Enthalpy of Evaporation, and Molecular Weight of Selected Liquids |

(1) Choice of nomenclature is one of the most difficult tasks in
assembling any table of chemical data, especially one containing a variety
of hydrocarbons that have become widely known by non-scientific names. We
have generally used IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)
nomenclature
as the primary name; synonyms in common use are also included — sometimes
these are shown as the primary name, depending on common usage. In a very
few cases, the IUPAC designation is quite technical, and not widely used
in industry,
and so has been left out of this table entirely. It is always best to reference
CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) numbers to make sure the correct material
is being evaluated. (2) Thermophysical Properties of Chemicals and Hydrocarbons,

(283.15K to 313.5K) or across a change of state may result in significant error
for some liquids. (6) Enthalpy of vaporization, kJ/mol (kilojoules per mole) @ 25oC

x (cal/cc)1/2) @ 25oC (298.15 K): Hansen Solubility
Parameters: A User's Handbook, 2nd Edition, Charles M. Hansen, CRC Press,
Boca Raton, FL, 2007, except as noted. The total solubility parameter is the
geometric mean of the three components dD (from non-polar, or dispersion
interactions), dP (from polar attraction), and dH (from
hydrogen bonding). This data is a combination of calculated values and experimentally
confirmed values; refer to the original source for detailed information, including
notes regarding the use of group contributions vs. dipole moments for polar
contribution calculations. (8) Cubic centimeters @ 25oC (298.15 K): Hansen Solubility
Parameters: A User's Handbook, 2nd Edition, Charles M. Hansen, CRC Press,
