What is solvent cement?
Solvent cement is a chemical adhesive used to join PVC, CPVC, and UPVC pipes and fittings. It softens the pipe surfaces and fuses them together, creating a strong, leak-proof bond.
How is solvent cement different from regular glue?
Unlike regular glue, solvent cement chemically welds plastic surfaces by dissolving and fusing them, resulting in a permanent joint.
What is the difference between PVC, CPVC, and UPVC solvent cement?
- PVC solvent cement – Used in rigid piping systems like drainage, conduit.
- CPVC solvent cement – Designed for hot and cold water applications.
- UPVC solvent cement – For cold water systems and general plumbing.
How do I apply solvent cement correctly?
- Cut pipe square and remove burrs.
- Clean and dry the surfaces.
- Apply solvent cement evenly to pipe and fitting.
- Insert pipe fully and hold for 30–60 seconds.
How long does solvent cement take to cure?
Initial set: 2–5 minutes
Handling strength: 15–30 minutes
Full cure: 24 hours (depending on pipe size, temperature, and humidity)
Is solvent cement flammable?
Yes. Solvent cement contains flammable solvents. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
How should solvent cement be stored?
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Keep containers tightly closed
- Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures
