GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

PVC Primer (Priming fluids) is a solvent based product specifically formulated to clean & Prime PVC-U pipe and

fittings. Available in red and clear.
 

APPLICATION:

PVC Primer is ideal to prime PVC pipe prior to application of PVC Pipe Cements for all installations of plumbing,

electrical, sewerage, drainage and storm water applications. NOTE: Solvent cements must never be used in a PVC

system using or being tested by compressed air or gases.
 

Preparation

1. Priming fluids shall be used to prepare the jointing surface prior to solvent cement application.

2. Ensure pipe is cut square and remove burrs.

3. To ensure correct assembly of joint, mark pipe at a distance equal to full socket depth.

4. Test joint for dry fit.

5. Ensure the pipes and fittings are clean and dry, by removing any moisture or dirt with a clean rag prior to

applying primer or pipe cements.

6. Clean pipe and inside of socket using a clean cloth freshly moistened with Priming Fluid. This is essential to

ensure a satisfactory bond.
 

Making the joint

1. Apply appropriate Solvent Cement in full even coats to both surfaces. Firstly, to the inside of socket, then to

external surface of pipe end.

2. Immediately assemble, pushing the pipe home to the full depth of the socket.

3. Hold bonded joint in position for at least 30 seconds.

4. Do not disturb for 5 minutes.

5. Allow 24 hours or longer time for curing before testing.

SHELF LIFE :

2 years in tightly sealed containers. The date code of manufacture is stamped on the container. Stability of the product is

limited by the evaporation of the solvent when the container is opened. Evaporation of solvent will cause the cement to

thicken and reduce its effectiveness. Adding of thinners to change viscosity is not recommended and may significantly

change the properties of the cement.
 

QUALITY ASSURANCE:

PVC Priming Fluid is carefully evaluated to assure that consistent high quality is maintained. Fourier transform

infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and additional in depth testing ensures each batch is manufactured to exacting

standards. A batch identification code is stamped on each can and assures traceability of all materials and

processes used in manufacturing this solvent cement.
