Tangit PVC-U Solvent Cement 500ml, High Pressure Adhesive

Tangit PVC-U Adhesive

The Tangit PVC-U Solvent Cement provides a high-strength chemical bond for rigid PVC piping systems used in pressure and non-pressure environments. This professional-grade solvent creates a permanent weld by dissolving the surface layer of the pipe and fitting. It specifically suits uPVC systems requiring high resistance to internal pressure and chemical exposure.

Built for the Job

Plumbers and site supervisors utilize this solvent cement for heavy-duty installations including water treatment plants, chemical processing lines, and industrial irrigation systems. The formulation ensures a secure connection that withstands thermal expansion and mechanical stress. Unlike standard adhesives, this chemical welding agent fuses the substrates into a single piece, making the joint as robust as the pipe wall itself. It handles large-diameter piping and manages gaps effectively during assembly. This makes it a standard choice for swimming pool filtration systems and municipal water distribution networks where leak prevention is critical.

• Installation of rigid PVC pressure pipes in industrial fluid transport.

• Bonding uPVC conduits in underground electrical and telecommunication works.

• Repair and maintenance of high-pressure agricultural irrigation lines.

Product Highlights

High Pressure Resistance

The bond supports operating pressures up to 16 bar, meeting the requirements for most municipal and industrial water lines.

Gap-Filling Capability

• Adjusts for tolerances up to 0.6mm between the pipe and the socket.
• Thixotropic consistency prevents dripping or running during vertical application.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 500ml Tin of Tangit PVC-U Adhesive with integrated application brush

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always clean the pipe ends and the inside of the fittings with a specialized cleaner before applying this solvent.

• Cut pipes at a right angle and chamfer the edges at 15 degrees to prevent the adhesive from being scraped off during insertion.

• Apply a thick layer of the chemical welder to the pipe and a thinner layer to the socket to ensure a proper bead forms at the joint mouth.

• Do not subject the joint to mechanical stress for at least five minutes after bonding; wait 24 hours before performing a full pressure test.
