Piping installations form the backbone of any construction project. Be it for plumbing, cable, or sewage, these pipes facilitate the smooth operation of basic services on a property. One of the core considerations when installing a piping system is the quality of the pipe and the PVC solvent cement.
Pipe joints can be vulnerable to wear and tear, leading to performance concerns. Solvent cements offer the most secure and durable form of joining the pipes. These days, there are numerous CPVC solvent cements available in the market, and it can be difficult to identify which is the best. Here, we take a look at critical considerations that can help you choose the best solvent cement for your needs.
Pipe Material Compatibility
Every pipe material requires a compatible solvent cement. For instance, a PVC piping structure requires PVC solvent cement, while uPVC pipes are secured best with uPVC solvent cement. APL Apollo solvent cement is available in three variants: CPVC solvent cement, uPVC solvent cement, and PVC solvent cement.
Ensuring material and solvent compatibility is of utmost importance to ensure the joints fuse together and create a durable and leak-proof bond.
Pipe Size
Another important factor is the size of the pipes. The viscosity of the solvent cement differs for different pipes. It tends to be thicker to better navigate larger pipes, while regular-bodied solvent cements adequately support smaller pipes. APL Apollo solvent cements are designed for all SDR/SCH/ASTM/CLASSES and are suitable for CPVC, PVC, uPVC, and SWR pipes. They are also packaged in convenient sizes of 25 ml (tube) and tins of 49 ml, 118 ml, 237 ml, 473 ml, and 946 ml.
Quality Compliance
Piping solutions are built to be durable. When looking for the best PVC solvent cement, always check for quality certifications and standards. Uncertified cement may be cheaper, but it is likely to create major problems in the future. APL Apollo has established itself as a trusted brand, adhering to stringent quality control measures while meeting all ASTM standards.
Application Criteria
Solvent cements are typically manufactured to work best under certain conditions, such as temperature, moisture, pressure, etc. Be sure to ensure that the CPVC solvent cement you have purchased is compatible with your project. APL Apollo offers fast-setting solvent cement built to perform optimally even under harsh conditions.
Ease of Application
Quick applications for fast turnover of projects and lower labour times can help save huge expenses on a project. APL Apollo solvent cements are quick to set and easy to use, making them the number one choice. From small to large projects, APL Apollo solvent cements are available in various sizes, such as 25-ml tubes, and tin or plastic options in 50-ml, 100-ml, 250-ml, 500-ml, 1000-ml, and 5000-ml containers.
Conclusion
Choosing the best PVC solvent cement can enhance the longevity of your piping system. Adhering to strict quality norms and standards, APL Apollo is the leading choice for all solvent cements, be it PVC, uPVC, or CPVC solvent cement.
