FAQs
The most important thing to know about solvent cement is that it’s not glue. Solvent cement is made up of PVC/CPVC resin, stabilizers and fillers dissolved in a cocktail of solvents. These solvents serve two purposes: Dissolve the PVC/CPVC Resin , Prepare the Surface of the pipe & fitting.
- Regular bodied/duty
- Medium bodied/duty
- Heavy bodied/duty
Pipe Material, Pipe Size and pressure, Application Conditions
Solvent loosen the surface material , When solvent cement is applied to the surface of the pipe or fitting, it begins to soften and dissolve the top layer of the surface
“Glue” and “solvent cement” are two words often used interchangeably in reference to plastic piping installation. On a basic level, both accomplish the immediate goal of joining. However, the substances are very different in how they work and their respective performance.

Dauber or brush can be used to apply the solvent cement
In areas of the country where population and geography combine to produce ozone and smog air quality issues, low volatile organic compound (VOC) products, like paints and adhesives, are either recommended, or required by law. These products have special formulations that have lower solvent content and/or use alternative solvents, like acetone, that are less reactive in the atmosphere.
Keep away from heat, spark, open flame and other sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in the shade between 5°C and 45 °C (40°F and 110°F) or as specified on the label.
Solvent cement is a quick and easy way to fuse PVC pipe and fittings together. When applied to pipe and fittings, the cement melts a thin layer that solidifies after being put together, forming a seamless, waterproof seal.
yes , solvent cement fuses the two pieces together at the molecular level, essentially establishing one uniform piece of material. This fundamental distinction is just the beginning of the differences between the two joining materials.
