Use of Solvents on Plastics

Plastics vary widely in their reactivity to solvents such as those employed in the surface preparation procedures described here. Before applying a solvent to any plastic, the Index of Test Materials and Surface Preparation Procedures , which includes most common plastics, should be referred to for the recommended compatible solvent. For plastics not listed in the index, the manufacturer of the material should be consulted, or tests should be performed to verify nonreactivity between the solvent and the plastic.
