PVC Glue (PVC Solvent Cement) – Product Description

PVC Glue, also known as PVC Solvent Cement, is a specially formulated adhesive designed for bonding PVC pipes and fittings. Unlike typical adhesives, it works by chemically softening the surfaces of the PVC materials, allowing them to fuse together to create a strong, permanent, and watertight joint. This solvent-based glue is essential for plumbing, irrigation, and drainage systems where secure, leak-proof connections are required.
