Features
  • Easy to mix
  • Quick healing
  • High strength
Detailing
  • Solvent cementing is a method of permanently jointing plastic pipes and fittings using solvent cement.
  • It is an easy, inexpensive and rapid method of jointing uPVC Pipes and Fittings.
  • It produces strong, leak proof joints when done properly
How it work?
  • The solvent constituents penetrate, soften and swell the mating plastic surfaces and cause the plastic pipe to soften and swell.
  • Swelling continues until the gaps between the pipe and fitting walls are closed and consequently the pipe and fitting cure and fuse into a tight weld.
  • As the solvents evaporate, the pipe and fitting cure into a single piece of plastic.
  • These types of joints are permanent in nature and strong in tension and commonly used for service pipes of water mains and PVC, uPVC plumbing works.

STANDARD TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON SOLVENT CEMENT:
Note: The above mentioned performance of solvent cements is under lab conditions. There may be variance under field conditions based on weather, temperature, individual handling & pipe characteristics.

  • Average initial SET – under lab condition. Field conditions & timings may vary.
  • Initial set is necessary time to allow before the joint can be carefully handled.
  • Allow 50% extra time during damp or humid weather.
