Solvent cement welding is a simple and quick means of constructing high integrity leak free joints. Care must be used to ensure that the correct solvent cement is used and that joining instructions are followed properly.

This specially formulated solvent cement is used with ABS pipe and fittings to join the surfaces together. The solvent cement melts the two surfaces to form a chemical weld when applied correctly between the fittings.

Before Applying Solvent Cement

• Be aware at all times of good safety practices
• Solvent cements are flammable
• Eliminate all ignition sources
• Do not smoke during use and do not expose to other sources of heat or flame in working or storage areas
• Avoid breathing vapors
• Use only with adequate ventilation
• Explosion proof mechanical ventilation or local exhaust is recommended to maintain vapor concentrations below recommended exposure limits
• In confined areas, a NIOSH approved organic vapor cartridge respirator with full-face piece is recommended
• Cement should be stored in the shade at temperatures between 40¬∞F and 110¬∞F Acorn Fire
• Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use, and covered as much as possible during use
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• Splash proof chemical goggles are recommended
• Avoid frequent contact with skin
• Wearing PVA coated gloves and an impervious apron are recommended
• Solvent cements have a limited shelf life and must be used prior to the expiration date
• Refer to printed warnings on cement c
