Solvent Cement for Plumbing

 Plastochem’s  UPVC Solvent Cement  is a specialized adhesive designed to create  strong, leak-proof joints  in UPVC piping systems. Whether you’re in plumbing, construction, or industrial piping, following the correct process is key to achieving durable results.   What is UPVC Solvent Cement ? UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) Solvent Cement is a chemical adhesive that: Softens the surface of pipes and fittings. Dissolves the resin for molecular bonding. Forms a  permanent chemical weld , often stronger than the pipe itself.   How It Works – The Bonding Process Surface Softening Solvent penetrates pipe and fitting surfaces to soften them. Resin Dissolution The UPVC resin in the cement starts to dissolve into the softened areas. Molecular Fusion When joined with slight pressure, the polymer chains entangle to form a strong bond. Curing As solvent evaporates, the fused materials harden into a robust joint.   Step-by-Step: How to Use Plas...

  Why CPVC Solvent Cement is the Smart Choice for Joining Pipes and Fittings Plastochem CPVC Solvent Cement  In plumbing, the strength of your entire system hinges on its joints. Even a tiny leak can waste up to 70 litres of water daily—costing you money and depleting precious resources. That’s why creating secure, leak-proof connections is critical. If you’re working with CPVC pipes, nothing beats CPVC solvent cement for delivering strong, lasting bonds you can trust. What is CPVC Solvent Cement? CPVC solvent cement is a specially formulated adhesive designed to join CPVC pipes and fittings. Unlike ordinary glues, it chemically fuses the surfaces together, creating a seamless, homogenous bond that’s as sturdy as the pipe itself. The result? A joint that stands up to heat, pressure, and harsh chemicals—keeping your plumbing system leak-free and reliable for years. The Top Advantages of CPVC Solvent Cement 1. Leak-Proof Joints for Peace of Mind CPVC solvent cement creat...

  Why uPVC Solvent Cement is the Best Choice for High-Pressure Drainage Systems High-Pressure Systems Demand More — Make Sure You’re Prepared Unlike standard drainage lines, high-pressure piping systems endure greater stress and must handle larger volumes of wastewater or tough industrial applications. That means every component — from the pipes to the joints — must perform flawlessly. uPVC pipes and fittings are already the go-to solution thanks to their impressive strength, corrosion resistance, and versatility. But for high-pressure systems, the true test lies in the joints. This is where uPVC solvent cement becomes indispensable, creating tough, leak-proof bonds that stand up to constant pressure and demanding conditions. How Solvent Cement Keeps Drainage Systems Leak-Free Solvent cement acts as a chemical welding agent, seamlessly fusing plastic pipes and fittings into a single, solid unit. Unlike mechanical joints that rely on gaskets or threading, solvent cement che...
