Polyvinyl acetate is soluble in a number of organic solvents. Solubility of polyvinyl acetate is directly related to the volatility of the solvent; the more volatile the solvent, the more soluble the polyvinyl acetate. Some of the most common solvents, ranked in order from the most volatile to the least, are listed below.1. diethyl ether (very volatile, water miscible) 2. acetone (best solvent that is commonly used) 3. benzene (very toxic) 4. ethylene dichloride (very toxic, non-water miscible) 5. methanol (toxic, cumulative poison) 6. methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (toxic) 7. ethanol (denatured alcohols may be toxic) 8. toluene (slightly toxic) 9. xylene (slightly toxic) 10. amyl acetate (slightly water miscible) 11.ethyl acetate
