[A] urf@icl.se (Urban Fredriksson) Yes, there are, but they are pretty nasty substances. The known solvents for PETE are: phenol o-chlorophenol dichloroacetic acid trifluoroacetic acid hexafluoroisopropanol pentafluorophenol methylene chloride/hexafluoroisopropanol tetrachloroethane/phenol 1:1 and various combinations of other chlorinated alkanes with halophenols One would generally not like to use these at home.
