CPVC Solvent Cement is a specially formulated adhesive used for joining Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) pipes and fittings in plumbing and industrial applications. It creates a strong, leak-proof, and durable bond by chemically softening the surfaces of the pipes and fittings, allowing them to fuse together as the solvent evaporates.

Key Features of CPVC Solvent Cement:
- Strong Bonding – Ensures a permanent, watertight seal.
- Heat & Pressure Resistance – Can withstand high temperatures (ideal for hot and cold water systems).
- Chemical Resistance – Resistant to acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
- Easy Application – Comes in liquid form, applied with a brush or applicator.
- Fast Drying – Sets quickly, reducing installation time.
Applications:
- Plumbing Systems – Used in residential, commercial, and industrial water supply systems.
- Industrial Piping – Suitable for chemical processing, fire sprinkler systems, and HVAC applications.
- Hot & Cold Water Systems – CPVC is ideal for handling hot water due to its high heat resistance.
How to Use CPVC Solvent Cement:
- Prepare the Surface – Clean and dry the pipe and fitting.
- Apply Solvent Cement – Use an applicator to coat both surfaces evenly.
- Assemble the Joint – Quickly insert the pipe into the fitting with a twisting motion.
- Hold in Place – Keep the joint steady for a few seconds.
- Curing Time – Allow sufficient time for the cement to set before testing.
Available Types:
- Regular-bodied – For smaller diameter pipes.
- Medium-bodied – Suitable for medium-sized pipes.
- Heavy-bodied – Ideal for large-diameter and high-pressure applications.
