Supreme cPVC SOLVENT CEMENT

Solvent Cement is the CPVC-specific jointing compound used to make every solvent-weld connection in the Supreme Lifeline system. Applied to the cleaned pipe and fitting surfaces, it chemically softens and fuses the two CPVC surfaces together, curing into a single homogeneous, permanent, leak-proof joint as it dries.

• Q: How long does solvent cement take to cure fully?
A: Initial handling strength develops within minutes, but full cure strength typically develops over about 24 hours; exact times vary with pipe size, temperature and humidity — check the product label for guidance.
• Q: Do I need to prime the pipe before applying solvent cement?
A: For CPVC systems, priming requirements depend on the specific solvent cement and local plumbing code; follow the product instructions and any applicable installation standard.
• Q: Can solvent cement be used on wet or damp pipe surfaces?
A: No, pipe and fitting surfaces should be clean and dry before applying solvent cement to ensure a proper chemical bond.
