Frequently Asked Questions
Can this solvent cleaner be used on plastics other than PVC and ABS?
This cleaner is formulated specifically for PVC and ABS surfaces. It may not be suitable for all other plastics, particularly softer or more sensitive materials, so always test on a small, inconspicuous area first or consult technical guidance before wider use.
How should I apply the solvent cleaner for best results?
Apply the cleaner to a clean, lint-free cloth or applicator and wipe the surfaces to be bonded, ensuring all grease, dust and residues are removed. Allow the solvent to evaporate fully and the surface to dry before applying solvent cement or adhesive.
Is this product suitable for use in potable water systems?
The cleaner is used only for surface preparation and should be allowed to evaporate completely before bonding. Suitability for potable water systems depends on the full installation, including the solvent cement and pipe materials used, so always follow relevant standards and system approvals.
