Solvent Cements & Primers

Selecting and properly using the right solvent cement and primer is probably the most overlooked and under-planned aspects of piping projects – yet it is one of the most critical components.  For PVC and CPVC plastic pipe solvent cements and primers PVC Industrial Products recommends and stocks IPEX products.  IPEX offers a complete range of Xirtec® brand cements, primers and applicators and also has technical support when required for the most difficult jobs.  Our staff can also help you select the right solution so that you can be assured of having a good joint every time.

IPEX cements meet CSA LM26895 and/or ASTM D2564 “Solvent Cements for (PVC) Plastic Piping Systems”, ASTM F493 “Solvent Cements for CPVC Plastic Pipe and Fittings” and ASTM D35 “Solvent Cements for ABS Plastic Pipe and Fittings”, where required.
