Plumbing Systems: Create strong, leak-proof joints for cold and hot water pipes in residential and commercial settings.
Irrigation & Agricultural Systems: Join PVC pipes for reliable water flow in outdoor irrigation setups for farms, gardens, and parks.
Industrial Applications: Bond CPVC pipes for chemical and heat resistance in processing plants, labs, and factories.
HVAC & Drainage Systems: Seal UPVC pipes in drainage and HVAC systems, handling wastewater, condensation, and other fluids.
Electrical Conduits: Secure PVC conduits to protect electrical wiring from moisture, physical damage, and environmental exposure.
Construction Projects: Used in assembling piping systems for new builds, providing durability and stability in various environments.

PVC Solvent Cement: Typically rated for pressures up to 400 psi, with heavy-duty versions handling up to 600 psi.
UPVC Solvent Cement: Generally suitable for pressures up to 300 psi, with high-pressure formulations capable of reaching 600 psi.
CPVC Solvent Cement: Designed for high-temperature applications, CPVC solvent cement can handle pressures up to 800 psi, with some formulations exceeding this rating.

PVC Solvent Cement: Generally last around 10 to 25 years. They are resistant to corrosion and suitable for a wide range of applications, but exposure to UV light can reduce their lifespan unless they are UV-stabilized.
UPVC Solvent Cement: Typically have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. UPVC valves are more durable than standard PVC valves and offer better resistance to chemical and environmental factors.
CPVC Solvent Cement :Usually last between 25 to 50 years. CPVC valves are designed for higher temperatures and pressures, making them suitable for hot water applications and more resistant to degradation.

Solvent cements create a secure, durable bond by chemically fusing the surfaces of pipes and fittings, resulting in a permanent, leak-proof connection.
Available for various materials such as PVC, CPVC, and ABS, making them suitable for multiple piping systems including water supply, drainage, irrigation, and industrial piping.
These adhesives offer quick curing times, allowing for faster installation and reducing downtime on the job site.
Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including pressure and non-pressure systems, high-temperature conditions, and chemical handling.
The adhesive bond formed is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliability, even in harsh environments.
Once cured, solvent cements provide an airtight and watertight seal, preventing leaks in plumbing and fluid handling systems.
Available in various viscosities, solvent cements are easy to apply with brushes or applicators and are designed for smooth, consistent coverage.
