PLASTOCHEM PVC Solvent Cement

 

What is PVC Solvent Cement?

PVC solvent cement is a special adhesive designed to join PVC pipes and fittings. Unlike ordinary glue, it works by chemically bonding the PVC surfaces, creating a strong, permanent joint. When applied, the cement softens the PVC surfaces, allowing them to fuse together and form a solid bond.

It’s important to know that not all PVC solvent cements are the same. Different types are formulated for specific needs—such as low VOC cements for indoor use, high-strength versions for heavy-duty applications, or products engineered for extreme temperatures.

PVC solvent cement is a time-tested, versatile solution, essential in the piping industry. Choosing the right type, like  PLASTOCHEM Solvent Cement, ensures a strong, leak-proof, and durable connection.

Applications of PVC Solvent Cement

While primarily used for joining PVC pipes and fittings, PVC solvent cement has several other important applications:

• Plumbing:
  Ensures secure connections in residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems.

• Chemical Processing:
  Joins PVC pipes used to transport various chemicals, maintaining leak-proof operations.

• Vinyl Flooring:
  Used to bond vinyl tiles to subfloors, delivering long-lasting floor installations.

• Pools & Spas:
  Connects PVC piping in filtration and circulation systems, ensuring leak-free operation even under continuous water flow.

When using PVC solvent cement, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. This includes properly cleaning the surfaces, applying the cement evenly, and allowing enough curing time. Additionally, wear gloves and ensure good ventilation, as the solvents can be hazardous if mishandled.
