UPVC Solvent Cement - A Strong, Reliable Bond for Every Application
Composition:
PVC solvent cement is a highly effective bonding agent composed of PVC resin mixed with specialized solvents like tetrahydrofuran (THF) or cyclohexanone. These solvents penetrate the PVC material, softening the surfaces and enabling them to fuse together. As the solvent evaporates, the surfaces solidify, creating a robust, long-lasting bond.
Chemical Reaction:
When applied, the solvent in PVC cement initiates a chemical reaction that softens and fuses the PVC surfaces. This process forms a durable, water-tight joint, capable of withstanding various environmental conditions. The bond’s strength increases as the solvent evaporates, ensuring a firm connection that resists leaks and pressure over time.
Fast Bonding:
One of the key advantages of using PVC solvent cement is its rapid bonding ability. The initial bond strength is often achieved in just minutes, making it a time-efficient solution. However, for maximum strength and durability, full curing might take several hours, depending on the conditions and pipe size.
Pressure Rating:
PVC solvent cement ensures that the joints formed can maintain the pressure ratings of the pipes and fittings. This guarantees leak-proof and durable connections in high-pressure applications, such as plumbing systems, agricultural irrigation, and sewage systems.
Color Options:
PVC solvent cement is available in different colors, such as clear and gray. While the color does not affect the performance of the cement, choosing a color that matches your PVC pipes and fittings is important for aesthetic consistency in installations.
Safety Precautions:
When handling PVC solvent cement, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines. This includes working in a well-ventilated area, using appropriate personal protective equipment, and ensuring the workspace is clean and safe. Always refer to the specific instructions for the best results.
Application Instructions:
Prepare the Surface:
Cut the pipes square and remove any burns. Clean and dry the pipe’s outer surface and the inner surface of the socket with a cloth to ensure proper adhesion.Apply Cement:
Using the brush provided, apply the UPVC solvent cement generously to both the outer surface of the pipe and the socket’s depth. Ensure the coverage is even and thorough.Assemble Quickly:
Immediately join the pipe and fitting while the cement is still wet. For optimal adhesion, rotate the pipe slightly as you insert it, and hold the joint firmly for 60 to 90 seconds to prevent push-out.Curing:
Allow the joint to set for at least 15 minutes to achieve good handling strength. Full curing may take longer, depending on environmental conditions.
