BAROBA Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hello, Sometime ago I did read somewhere that some liquid caused plastic or rubber to expand to a considerable larger size. But I can't remember where I read it... So does anyone know which liquid ( a solvent ?) this is and what material it causes to expand? Thanks in advance Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UC Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Many solvents swell plastics and rubbers, but which solvents for which plastics and rubbers are important considerations. Try looking up a solvent incompatibility sheet. One I know off the top of my head: EPDM rubber is massively swollen by aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
