CPVC Solvent Cement
What to Know Before Choosing CPVC Solvent Cement
At Plastochem, we understand how important it is to use the right CPVC solvent cement for a secure and long-lasting plumbing system. Before selecting any product, keep the following points in mind:
-
Use CPVC-specific cement: Not all cements are the same. Make sure the one you choose is specially formulated for CPVC pipes and fittings. Our Plastochem CPVC Solvent Cement is designed for strong, leak-proof bonding.
-
Compatibility matters: Check if the cement matches the grade of CPVC compound used in your system. Plastochem’s cement is engineered to work with high-quality CPVC materials.
-
Curing and drying time: Consider how fast the cement sets. Faster curing means quicker installation and reduced downtime.
-
Storage and shelf life: Always store cement in a cool, dry place and check the expiry date to ensure product performance.
-
Follow safety instructions: For best results, always follow the application and safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
