Tangit PVC-U Solvent Cement
The Henkel Tangit PVC-U Cement provides a high-strength chemical bond for rigid pressure piping systems. This specialized solvent adhesive facilitates longitudinal force-fit connections in uPVC drainage and supply conduits. It complies with international safety standards for potable water and industrial fluid transport applications.
Built for the Job
Contractors use this adhesive primarily for assembling pipe networks where leak-proof integrity is mandatory under high-pressure conditions. The solvent welding process fuses the pipe and fitting surfaces into a single, monolithic structure. This chemical reaction ensures the joint remains as strong as the pipe wall itself. Plumbers rely on it for residential water mains, while irrigation specialists use it for high-pressure agricultural manifolds. The 50ml tube size is specifically designed for small-scale repairs or tight overhead spaces where larger tins are impractical. It performs consistently in both high-pressure and gravity-fed systems across various site temperatures.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
Clean pipe ends with a specialized primer to remove grease before applying the bonding agent.
-
Apply a thin layer to the socket and a thicker layer to the pipe end for maximum coverage.
-
Hold the joint together for 30 seconds to prevent push-out during the initial setting phase.
-
Curing times vary by temperature; allow extended drying time in environments below 10 degrees Celsius.
-
Store the tube in a cool, dry place to prevent the solvent from thickening prematurely.
