Livsol PVC Solvent Cement, Low VOC, 25 Litre

The Livsol PVC Solvent Cement provides a strong, permanent bond for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipework. This low-VOC formulation reduces emissions for a more environmentally conscious application, while maintaining excellent solvent-welding performance for secure, leak‑free joints.

Key Features

• Low VOC: Formulated with reduced volatile organic compounds, meeting environmental and workplace safety expectations.
• Permanent Bond: Creates a secure, welded joint that fuses the pipe and fitting material into a single, continuous piece.
• uPVC Compatible: Specifically designed for solvent‑welding unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipes and fittings.
• High Strength: Ensures a robust connection capable of withstanding system pressures and mechanical stress.

Applications

Livsol PVC Solvent Cement is suitable for a wide range of plumbing and industrial installations. It is commonly used for:

• Cold‑water supply systems
• Soil, waste, and vent (SWV) systems
• Industrial chemical drainage
• Irrigation and agricultural pipework
• General uPVC fabrication and repairs

How It Works

The cement works by softening the surface layers of the uPVC material. When the pipe is inserted into the socket, the two softened surfaces merge and fuse as the solvent evaporates, creating a homogeneous, permanent bond. For best results, ensure pipe ends and fitting sockets are clean, dry, and free from grease before application.

Technical Note

Always use in a well‑ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and safety glasses, during handling and application. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application times and curing conditions to achieve optimal joint integrity.
