What is a Solvent?
Solvent resistant glitter is one of the strongest, most durable glitter available. It's coatings hold up to a variety of environments making it ideal for many projects. Some solvent resistant glitters hold up to heat, up to certain temperatures as well, which means they can be used in products like epoxy which heat up through a chemical reaction as they set.
World of Molecules explains "In chemistry, a common rule for determining if a solvent will dissolve a given solute is "like dissolves like." Solvents composed of polar molecules, such as water, dissolve other polar molecules, such as table salt, while non-polar solvents, such as gasoline, dissolve non-polar substances such as wax. The degree that a solvent dissolves a given solute is known as its solubility. Ethyl alcohol is highly soluble in water, for example. Vinegar is very insoluble in oil, and the two substances will quickly separate into two layers even after being shaken well."
