Frequently Asked Questions
Can this solvent cement be used on plastics other than ABS?
This product is specifically formulated for ABS and should be used only on ABS pipes and fittings for reliable performance. For other plastics, such as PVC or CPVC, a cement designed for that material should be selected.
How long should I allow the joint to dry before putting the system into service?
Initial set is typically rapid, but full cure time depends on pipe size, joint clearance, temperature, and ventilation. As a general guide, allow a minimum of several hours before pressure testing and follow any relevant installation standards or on-site procedures.
Do I need to prepare the ABS surfaces before applying the solvent cement?
For best results, ensure the ABS surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose material. Cut the pipe square, deburr and chamfer the end, then dry-fit to check alignment before applying an even coat of cement and assembling the joint.
