UPVC Solvent Cement
Plastochem UPVC Solvent Cement is a high-performance adhesive specifically designed for joining UPVC pipes and fittings. It is approved for use with water distribution systems at varying temperatures and pressures. Additionally, it is widely utilized in drainage, waste management, vent systems, sewers, gas pipelines, conduits, and other industrial applications.
For optimal joint strength and durability, it is recommended to use this solvent cement in conjunction with a primer and cleaner. To maintain quality and effectiveness, never add thinner or additives to the solvent.
Plastochem CPVC Solvent Cement
Plastochem CPVC Solvent Cement is a heavy-bodied, slow-setting adhesive designed for PVC and CPVC pipes and fittings. It is known for its high viscosity, offering excellent gap-filling properties. This makes it particularly effective for large-diameter pipes and fittings, where maintaining a secure and leak-proof bond is essential. It can also be used for smaller diameter pipes, ensuring a robust and lasting connection. Due to its formulation, this cement requires a slightly longer curing time to achieve maximum bonding strength.

Why UPVC Solvent Cement is Ideal for High-Pressure Drainage Systems
High-pressure piping systems require materials that can withstand significant stress and force. UPVC pipes and fittings are preferred due to their exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. However, the effectiveness of these pipes relies heavily on the strength of the joints, making UPVC solvent cement a crucial component.
Plastochem’s UPVC solvent cement ensures a leak-proof bond capable of withstanding continuous pressure, making it ideal for:
Superior Bonding Strength: Provides an exceptionally strong and secure bond, ensuring leak-proof joints even under high pressure.
Ease of Application: Simple and quick to apply, reducing installation time and labor costs.
Durability & Longevity: Resistant to environmental factors and chemicals, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable drainage system.
Chemical Resistance: Effectively resists acids, alkalis, and other wastewater chemicals, enhancing system longevity.
Pressure Resistance: Withstands high stress, ensuring a firm and flexible seal that maintains structural integrity.
Minimal Maintenance: Once applied, requires little to no upkeep, offering a cost-effective, long-term solution.
For high-pressure drainage systems, choosing superior-quality solvent cement is essential to prevent leaks and system failures.

Composition and Features of PVC Solvent Cement
Composition: A blend of PVC resin and solvents like tetrahydrofuran (THF) or cyclohexanone, designed to soften PVC surfaces and fuse them upon evaporation.
Chemical Reaction: The solvent dissolves the surface of the PVC, allowing the materials to bond securely upon curing.
Fast Bonding: Offers quick initial adhesion within minutes, while full curing occurs over several hours.
Pressure Rating: Forms a watertight, high-strength bond that maintains the integrity of the pipes and fittings under pressure.
Color Options: Available in clear or gray, ensuring compatibility with different piping systems.
Safety Measures: Always use in a well-ventilated area and follow manufacturer instructions for proper application.
Application Instructions
Cut the pipes to the desired length and remove burrs. Ensure the joining surface is clean and dry.
Apply UPVC Solvent Cement evenly on the outer surface of the pipe and inside the socket using the provided brush.
Quickly assemble the joint while the cement is still wet. Rotate the pipe slightly for better adhesion and hold for 60-90 seconds.
Allow a minimum of 15 minutes before handling. Full curing time may vary based on environmental conditions.
