limonene and plastic?

[balaganist]

SWIM would like to know if limonene melts plastic... he did a little test and it seems to be ok, at least a lot safer than acetone. He's just concerned about it soaking up oils or whatever from his plastic measuring jug. Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers!

It melts some plastics.

I'd stick to glass with limonene.

it's fine with HDPE.

it dissolves polystyrene and polyurethane

D-limonene normally ships in HDPE containers.

ok heres a question... swims seen some sort of plastic bag being used in the absence of a seperatory funnel or gravy strainer... so... is there any types of plastic bags out there that can be used?
