Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use to clean up purple primer?

Unfortunately once purple primer comes into contact with any material, the affect is permanent.

How are cure times determined?

Cure times vary depending on a wide variety of factors. Please review the documents below and read our blog for more helpful information. Solvent Cement Cure Charts Solvent Cement Instructions

What PVC cements allow for the longest set-up time, for multiple joint assemblies?

The regular body cement has the longest working time once the joint has been assembled on pipe sizes up to 4” diameter. However, the regular body cement has the quickest set up time before the joint is assembled because of the quick evaporation process. Any pipe sizes over 4” should be discussed with the technical department.
