Does tetrahydrofuran solvent dissolve plastic?
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a cyclic ether which can dissolve many types of plastic materials.
Tetrahydrofuran solvent dissolves many types of plastic, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate, and polystyrene (PS). Its effectiveness depends on the specific plastic's properties.
Plastics that are soluble or damaged by THF include:
- Polystyrene (PS)
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) - This is the basis for PVC cements.
- Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA / Acrylic)
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
Plastics that are resistant to THF (and are therefore safe for short-term storage or handling) include:
- Polyethylene (PE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Teflon (PTFE)
