  2. Acetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

    Vessels containing a porous material are first filled with acetone followed by acetylene, which dissolves into the acetone. One litre of acetone can dissolve around 250 litres of acetylene at a pressure of 10 bars (1.0 MPa). [62] [63] Acetone is used as a solvent by the pharmaceutical industry and as a denaturant in denatured alcohol. [64]

    Strongly polar compounds like sugars (e.g. sucrose) or ionic compounds, like inorganic salts (e.g. table salt) dissolve only in very polar solvents like water, while strongly non-polar compounds like oils or waxes dissolve only in very non-polar organic solvents like hexane. Similarly, water and hexane (or vinegar and vegetable oil) are not ...

    Boiling water This can be used to take out fruit juice stains. Hot water activates the detergent and as well as sanitize the cloth. It works best on protein-based stains. [9] Lukewarm water Water is an excellent solvent for colorless sugary stains, such as sticky residues of dropped candy as well as apple jam and honey. [citation needed]

  9. Paint thinner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_thinner

    After a long period in storage, the dense paint pigment and filler settles out over time and it can lose some of its solvent due to evaporation, becoming so thick and viscous that it does not flow properly when used. By the addition of more solvent, it can be diluted or re-dissolved to restore the paint to an appropriate consistency for use.
