The PP dissolution in n-pentane and n-heptane was interpreted in terms of chain disentanglement and solvent diffusion.
Also in the running are hydrocarbons--isopentane, n-pentane, and cyclopentane--costing 50cents to 90cents/lb, as well as liquid, methyl-formate based Ecomate from Foam Supplies, which is used in spray-foam insulation and integral-skin foams for bicycle seats, golf-cart tires, and automotive headrests.
