About Solvent Cements
The most important thing to know about solvent cement is that its not a glue. Solvent cement is made up of CPVC resin, stabilizers and fillers dissolved in a cocktail of solvents. When applied, the solvents soften and dissolve the top layer of the pipe and fitting material, loosening its molecular structure. A taper in the fitting socket creates an interference fit that ensures contact between the pipe and fitting. This allows the material to fuse to itself when the two pieces are connected. The CPVC resin is present to fill in any gaps that may exist. Because this fusion occurs at the molecular level, when the solvent evaporates, the joint actually becomes one uniform piece. We provide solvent cement suitable for joining both uPVC and CPVC pipes. Solvent cement provides hassle-free joining of pipes.
