Ethanol works. You can then dissolve the resulting solution in water, though I've never tried more than a 50/50 ethanol/water mix.

How do you dissolve plastics?
With solvents. The kind of solvent depends on the "plastic" involved. Polystyrene dissolves in benzene or toluene Polyurethane (not the thermoplastic which is insoluble in most solvents) can dissolve in acetone. Polyethylene is resistant to most organic solvents. Styrofoam will dissolve in the isopropanol solvents used in some glues. This can be helpful or hindering when working with arts and crafts.
What solvents can dissolve polypropylene?
hexane
What are the fat solvents?
Solvents which can dissolve fats,e.g ether, benzene, acetone.
Why is it good to use alcohol when doing chromotography?
Alcohol is used only in the chromatographic separation of substances that do not dissolve in other common solvents but dissolve in alcohol.
What kinds of substanances dissolve in water?
solutes, solvents are the substances that do the dissolving solutes, solvents are the substances that do the dissolving
What can solvents be used for?

Explain how a solute can dissolve in polar and nonpolar solvents?

In which solvents acetaminophen is miscible?
Ethanol and acetone are common solvents. Co-solvents can include propylene glycol and glycerin to fully dissolve.
What is the difference in the solubility of organic and inorganic compounds in water and in organic solvents?
In general, inorganic compounds will dissolve in polar or inorganic solvents such as water, whereas organic compounds will dissolve in organic solvents. However there are many exceptions to these.
