Oh, dude, does rubber dissolve in water? Well, technically, rubber doesn't dissolve in water like sugar in a cup of tea. It's more like when you forget to take out your phone from your pocket before doing laundry - it doesn't disappear, but it sure doesn't come out looking the same. So, yeah, rubber doesn't dissolve in water, but it can definitely get messed up.

RafaRubber does not dissolve in water because it is a hydrophobic material, meaning it does not have an affinity for water molecules. Rubber is composed of long chains of hydrocarbons that are held together by strong covalent bonds, which are not easily broken by water molecules. While rubber may swell or soften slightly when in contact with water, it does not dissolve or break down in the same way that materials like sugar or salt do.
