FAQs – CPVC Solvent Cement by KG Plastochem

 


1. What is CPVC Solvent Cement?

CPVC Solvent Cement is a specially formulated adhesive used to join CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings. It creates a strong, leak-proof bond by chemically fusing the pipe and fitting surfaces.

2. What are the key features of KG Plastochem CPVC Solvent Cement?

  • High bonding strength
  • Leak-proof and durable joints
  • Fast setting and easy application
  • Resistant to high temperatures and pressure
  • Suitable for both hot and cold water systems

3. How do I use CPVC Solvent Cement?

  • Cut the CPVC pipe squarely and clean it.
  • Apply CPVC primer (if required) to the pipe and fitting.
  • Apply a uniform layer of CPVC solvent cement on both surfaces.
  • Join the pipe and fitting immediately with a twisting motion.
  • Hold for a few seconds to set and allow curing time before pressure testing.

4. What is the curing time for CPVC Solvent Cement?

Curing time varies based on temperature and pipe size. Typically:

  • 1-2 hours for small pipes (½” to 1”)
  • 2-4 hours for medium pipes (1 ½” to 2”)
  • 6-24 hours for larger pipes (above 2”) or low temperatures

5. Can CPVC Solvent Cement be used for PVC pipes?

No, CPVC solvent cement is specifically designed for CPVC pipes. For PVC pipes, use PVC solvent cement.

6. Is a primer required before applying CPVC solvent cement?

A CPVC primer is recommended for better bonding, especially for high-pressure applications, but not always mandatory.

7. What temperature range can CPVC Solvent Cement withstand?

CPVC solvent cement can handle temperatures up to 93°C (200°F), making it ideal for hot water systems.

8. How long does CPVC Solvent Cement last?

Unopened cans have a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored properly in a cool, dry place. Once opened, use it within one year for best results.
