Solvent cementing

Simple and very safe art of jointing, that doesn't require expensive and complicated equipment. This jointing technology can be used with following materials: PVC-U, PVC-C, ABS.

TANGIT Clener. Directions for use: After opening of Tangit Cleaner tin, press the plastic lid of the tin top down. Pour the Tangit Cleaner on the paper tissue and clean the pipe or fitting surface. Change the paper tissues after every single attempt. Remove moisture on fittings before apply the cement. Warning: Irritating to eyes and respiratory system. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Keep out of reach of children. Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from source of ignition – No smoking. Avoid contact with eyes. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

TANGIT solvent cement (special adhesive). Directions for use: Cut pipe end square, deburr and chamfer. Remove surfaces to be cemented of heavy dirt, then using Tangit Cleanser and absorbent paper clean the surfaces thoroughly. Measure the pipe socket insertion depth and mark the pipe accordingly. Stir the Tangit well before use. Apply the cement evenly to both parts with a brush (socket less – pipe more). Assemble the parts within 4 minutes (in case of PVC-C – 1 minute) without turning or twisting up to pipe stop/marking. Hold the parts together for some seconds and remove the surplus cement immediately. Do not load the cemented parts mechanically for at least 5 minutes (in case of PVC-C and ABS – 10 minutes) after the jointing (under +10C 15 minutes (in case of PVC-C – 30 minutes). Fill the pipe and perform the pressuretest at room temperature 1 bar = 1 hour (in case of PVC-U – 24 hours) after the last joint was made. Please note the special jointing instructions when using Tangit in the plumbing industry. Shelf life: min. 24 months from the date of filling in original tin. Warning: Irritating to eyes and respiratory system. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Keep out of reach of children. Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from source of ignition – No smoking. Avoid contact with eyes. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
