🧰 Service Explanation – CPVC Solvent Cement by Plastochem

What We Offer:
Plastochem provides high-quality CPVC Solvent Cement, a key product used for joining CPVC pipes and fittings in plumbing systems. Unlike glue, CPVC solvent cement chemically fuses the pipe and fitting into one solid, leak-proof unit. This method is widely preferred for its strength, durability, and ease of installation.

How It Works:

• CPVC solvent cement uses a combination of solvents and resin.

• It softens the plastic surface of both pipe and fitting to fuse them together at the molecular level.

• The result is a permanent, waterproof bond that maintains system flexibility—especially in features like expansion loops.

✅ Dos of Using CPVC Solvent Cement

Step	Do This
1	Use tools like ratchet cutters, power saws, or fine-toothed saws designed for plastic.
2	Ensure the pipe is square-cut using a mitre box for maximum bonding surface.
3	Remove burrs and debris with a chamfering tool to allow proper contact.
4	Slightly bevel pipe edges to ease fitting and prevent cement wipe-off.
5	Wipe off dirt and moisture before applying cement to ensure strong bonding.
6	Ensure a visible bead of cement around the joint—it confirms sufficient application.
7	Follow manufacturer's cure times based on pipe size, humidity, and temperature.
