Product Overview

Bossil BS-512TP Heavy Duty Solvent Cement is a clear (transparent) solvent-based adhesive specifically formulated for solvent welding of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings. The cement works by chemically softening and fusing the mating surfaces, creating a permanent, seamless bond that becomes an integral part of the pipe system itself - not merely an adhesive layer on top.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy Duty Formulation - Designed for demanding applications where standard solvent cements fall short, including high-pressure pipe systems and large-diameter PVC joints.
• Crystal Clear / Transparent Finish - Dries clear for a clean, professional appearance with no visible residue around fittings and joints.
• Fast Set Time - Rapid initial set allows work to progress quickly without extended waiting periods, improving on-site productivity.
• Superior Bond Strength - Creates a chemically welded joint that is as strong as or stronger than the pipe itself, ensuring leak-free, long-lasting performance.
• Excellent Chemical Resistance - Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for both potable water and industrial fluid conveyance systems.
• Broad Compatibility - Compatible with Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC pipes and fittings across a range of pipe diameters.
• Convenient 473ML Can - Practical size with an integrated applicator brush for clean, controlled application directly from the can.
• Carton of 24 Units - Bulk packaging ideal for contractors, distributors, hardware retailers, and large-scale project procurement.

Application Instructions

• Ensure pipe and fitting surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, or moisture before application.
• Lightly abrade mating surfaces with sandpaper or a pipe preparation tool to improve adhesion.
• Apply a uniform coat of solvent cement to both the pipe exterior and the fitting socket using the integrated brush.
• Insert the pipe into the fitting immediately with a slight twisting motion to distribute the cement evenly.
• Hold the joint firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-back.
• Allow adequate cure time before pressurising the system - refer to local standards and temperature conditions for recommended cure periods.
