About Solvent Cement
Leveraging our rich industry experience, we are engaged in the business of formulating supplying Solvent Cement. This cement is mainly formulated to bond PVC pipe and fittings. It works by softening the surface of the pipe and fitting to create a strong bond. Known for its accurate composition, this cement is applied to the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the socket. Solvent Cement can also be availed in different packaging options at reasonable market prices.
Features:
- Easy to apply
- Creates a strong bond
- Long shelf life
Reliable Application and PerformanceDesigned for versatility, this solvent cement can be applied using a brush or directly onto the surfaces to be joined. The medium viscosity ensures smooth application, while high bond strength delivers a secure, long-lasting joint. It is compatible with a variety of plastic piping systems, particularly in water supply and plumbing projects, offering peace of mind with its robust, leak-proof bonding.
Standards-Compliant, Rapid Curing SolutionThe cement meets ASTM D2564 standards, guaranteeing quality and compatibility for professional use. Its fast 25 minute drying time allows for efficient workflow without compromising adhesion or durability. Up to 16 kg/cm pressure rating after curing ensures its suitability for high-pressure environments, making it a reliable adhesive for both residential and industrial needs.
FAQs of Solvent Cement:
Q: How should the solvent cement be applied for best results?
A: The solvent cement can be applied either with a brush or directly to the pipe surfaces. Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry before generously coating them. Assemble the joint promptly to achieve optimal bonding.
Q: What makes this solvent cement water resistant?
A: Formulated for excellent water resistance, this cement creates a durable seal that prevents leaks, making it ideal for plumbing and water supply systems where persistent exposure to moisture is expected.
Q: When does the solvent cement reach full curing strength?
A: The initial drying time is 25 minutes, but full curing and maximum pressure resistance (up to 16 kg/cm) are typically achieved after the recommended cure period stated in the product instructions, depending on pipe diameter and environmental conditions.
Q: Where can this solvent cement be used?
A: It is suitable for joining plastic pipes in potable water lines, irrigation systems, industrial and residential plumbing, and any application requiring high bond strength and water resistance.
Q: What is the correct process for storing the cement?
A: Store the solvent cement in a tightly sealed container at temperatures between 5C and 30C. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and keep away from heat sources to maintain quality and performance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this medium viscosity solvent cement?
A: Key benefits include excellent adhesion, high pressure resistance up to 16 kg/cm, rapid drying, outstanding water resistance, and compliance with ASTM D2564 standards, ensuring strength and durability in every joint.
