Gas‐liquid chromatography was used to measure the solubilities of ethylene, n ‐butane, vinyl acetate, n ‐hexane, benzene, toluene, and n ‐octane in three different samples of liquid, low‐density polyethylene. Solubilities in the different samples are similar. A correlation is presented for estimation of solubilities of nonpolar solutes in liquid polyethylene.
