Hi,

I have been using diesel fuel and gasoline to rinse out surplus 5gal epoxy resin jugs. They are great for projects. The resin seems to dissolve or at least emulsify into the diesel. I'm wondering if there is a way to extract/separate the diesel from the resin. The resin is not soluble in water, and is comprised of the following. When I have a little time I'm going to try adding acid and base to samples. As well as freezing it. Freeze distillation is my current thinking. Obviously I'll let it settle and see what happens, it may separate on it's own.

Oxirane, 2,2'-[(1-methylethylidene)bis(4,1-phenyleneoxymethylene)]bis-, homopolymer

Benzyl alcohol

Phenol, polymer with formaldehyde, glycidyl ether
