Waxy or rubbery material soluble in a polar solvent

Dear sirs,
I am looking for a waxy or rubbery material soluble in a polar solvent, like NaClO, water or izopropanol.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I would not use NaClO as a solvent. Bizarre idea. It's a solid. In addition, it decomposes under many conditions, reacts with many compounds including rubbers, and produces toxic gases.
You could check a
"compatibility list"
that contains elastomers (or rubbers) and varied solvents. Where the compatibility is "bad" you may have found a rubber and a solvent. Intuition shall tell if the incompatibility is a dissolution or a reaction.
Neoprene for instance is a rubber and rather polar. Its usual solvents are nonpolar but you may find some polar solvents for it. This patent
https://patents.google.com/patent/CN1952031A/en
uses a mix of solvents, among them dimethyl carbonate and ketones. Maybe the nonpolar ones are not necessary.
There, THF is a solvent for several rubbers including neoprene and nitrile

An other table there

again, nitrile rubber and neoprene are incompatible with ketones.

I kinda assume he means NaClO(aq), anything else just wouldn't make sense (i believe NaClO would decompose before melting). If there's NaClO dissolved in your polar solvent i believe your biggest problem would be oxidation reactions, rather than solubility.
Polyols have a waxy consistency, perhaps PEG (polyethylene glycol) could be a possible candidate? Specifying the use case would help a lot!
