Well, Fisher Scientific sells toluene wash bottles that are made out of PE. I would say, no, it doesn't.
Data from an old Cole-Parmer catalog:
- LDPE: some effect after 7 days of constant exposure. The effects may be cracking, crazing, loss of strength, or discoloration - depending on the material. Solvents may cause softening, swelling, and permeation losses; the solvent effects on the material are normally reversible. Not recommended for continuous use.
- HDPE: Little or no damage after 30 days of constant exposure.
Sugar does not dissolve in toluene because toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sugar is a polar solute. Polar solutes typically dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
Toluene is non-polar and does not dissolve in water, so it does not have a pH like aqueous solutions.
Toluene is not a polar solvent, so it may have limited ability to dissolve ionic compounds like sodium iodide. It's recommended to use polar solvents like water or acetone to dissolve sodium iodide effectively.
Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.
Polystyrene dissolves in toluene due to its non-polar nature and the similar solubility parameters of both substances. The non-polar toluene molecules can penetrate the polystyrene chains, causing the polymer to swell and eventually dissolve.

Sodium hydroxide is not soluble in toluene. Toluene is a nonpolar solvent, while sodium hydroxide is an ionic compound that is highly soluble in water but not in nonpolar solvents like toluene.
Not under normal conditions, no. Toluene is a hydrocarbon, and is therefore non-polar. Water is strongly polar. They have incompatible intermolecular attractions, so no dissolving will take place.
Yes but it requires a higher temperature than room temperature.
benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate
Polystyrene dissolves in toluene due to its non-polar nature and the similar solubility parameters of both substances. The non-polar toluene molecules can penetrate the polystyrene chains, causing the polymer to swell and eventually dissolve.
Yes, Polyethylene oxide (PEO) is water soluble. It is a polymer that is able to dissolve in water and form a clear, viscous solution.
Because they are polar compound
Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and like all hydrocarbons is a non polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule. The rule of dissolving is that non polar cannot dissolve in polar
The most common solvent for neoprene rubber is acetone. Acetone is effective at dissolving neoprene and can be used for cleaning and bonding neoprene surfaces. It's important to use acetone in a well-ventilated area and follow safety precautions when working with it.
