4 oz / 118 ml | 8 oz / 237 ml | 16 oz / 473 ml | 32 oz / 946 ml
- Easy to mix and apply
- Quick setting characteristics
- High joint strength after curing
Solvent cementing is a method of permanently jointing plastic pipes and fittings using a specially formulated solvent cement.
It is an easy, economical and rapid method of jointing UPVC Pipes and Fittings. When applied correctly, it produces strong and leak proof joints suitable for long term service conditions in plumbing and drainage systems.
The solvent constituents penetrate and soften the mating surfaces of the UPVC pipe and fitting. This causes controlled swelling of the plastic material.
As the pipe is inserted into the fitting, the softened surfaces fuse together, closing any gaps between the pipe and fitting walls. As the solvent evaporates, the joint cures into a single homogeneous mass.
The resulting joint is permanent in nature and exhibits high tensile strength. These joints are commonly used in water supply lines, service pipes and UPVC plumbing systems.
Note: The performance values mentioned below are based on laboratory conditions. Actual field performance may vary depending on temperature, weather conditions, handling practices and pipe characteristics.
AVERAGE INITIAL SET TIME
Initial set time is the minimum time required before the joint can be carefully handled.
Allow 50% additional time during damp or humid conditions.
| Temperature | ½" - 1¼" | 1½" - 2" | 2½" - 8" | 10" - 15" | 15"& Above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Below 5°C | 10 min | 15 min | 12 hrs | 24 hrs | 48 hrs |
| 5°C - 16°C | 5 min | 10 min | 2 hrs | 8 hrs | 16 hrs |
| 16°C & above | 2 min | 5 min | 30 min | 2 hrs | 4 hrs |
JOINT CURE SCHEDULE FOR PRESSURE TESTING
Joint cure time is the minimum time required before the joint can be pressurized.
Allow 50% additional time during damp or humid weather.
Allow 2 to 3 times additional time for industrial applications.
| Temperature | ½" - 1¼" | 1½" - 2" | 2½" - 8" | 10" - 15" | 15" and above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Below 5°C | 48 hrs | 96 hrs | 8 days | 8 days | 14 days |
