About Us
Plastochem is a leading provider of high-performance CPVC solvent cement in India, offering reliable and durable bonding solutions for plumbing systems across residential, commercial, and industrial applications. With years of expertise in the industry, we pride ourselves on delivering top-quality products that ensure strength, safety, and longevity in every joint.
Our Product – CPVC Solvent Cement
When it comes to joining CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings, choosing the right solvent cement is crucial for ensuring leak-proof and long-lasting connections. At Plastochem, we offer a premium-grade CPVC solvent cement specially formulated for superior fusion and bond integrity.
Unlike traditional glue, CPVC solvent cement does not simply stick surfaces together. Instead, it initiates a chemical welding process that fuses the pipe and fitting at a molecular level, creating a seamless and durable connection. This results in a single, continuous piece of plastic that can withstand pressure, temperature changes, and external stresses — making it an ideal solution for modern plumbing systems.
This method is particularly effective for components like expansion loops, where flexibility and joint integrity are essential. The solvent cement enables slight movement without compromising the strength of the seal, ensuring that your plumbing system remains intact over time.
Expert Guidance for Installation: Dos and Don’ts
To achieve optimal performance and longevity from your CPVC plumbing system, it’s important to follow best practices while applying solvent cement. Here's our professional guide:
✅ Dos of CPVC Solvent Cement Application
-
Use tools specifically designed for cutting plastic pipes, such as ratchet cutters, fine-toothed saws, or power saws.
-
Cut pipes squarely using a mitre box to maximize bonding surface area.
-
Chamfer the pipe ends and remove all burrs to ensure proper contact and fitting alignment.
-
Create a slight bevel on the pipe end to ease insertion and prevent solvent displacement.
-
Clean and dry all pipe ends and sockets before applying solvent cement to avoid contamination.
-
Ensure a visible, continuous bead of cement around the joint, indicating a proper seal.
-
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended curing times based on environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and pipe size.
❌ Don’ts of CPVC Solvent Cement Application
-
Do not use dull or damaged cutting tools.
-
Avoid using expired, discolored, or gelled solvent cement.
-
Never apply solvent cement near heat sources, open flames, or while smoking.
-
Do not pressure test the system before the full curing period has passed.
-
Avoid using rags to apply primer or allowing puddles of cement to form inside joints.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How long does CPVC solvent cement take to cure?
A: Cure time can range from a few minutes to a few days, depending on pipe size, ambient temperature, humidity, and fit.
