PVC Pegafor is a special solvent cement for welding rigid PVC pipes and accessories pressure systems, according to EN 14814.
Specifically indicated to bond materials under these regulations: EN 1452 and EN 1329.
Adhesive with marked CE for the field of thermoplastic system application with pressure under pressure (PN16), in installations for the transport / disposal / storage of water not intended for human consumption. Suitable for potable water applications.
Based on homopolymer resin Poli Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and Tetrahydrofurane stabilized (THF)
Advantages:
- High apparent viscosity and excellent fluidity.
- Highly thixotropic, which prevents dripping during application.
- Moderately fast initial curing, which allows minor rectifications during the installation and facilitates the bonding of large diameters.
- Acts as an authentic chemical VC solvent, due to its composition.
- Easy to use and does not drip or form “tears” on the inside of the tubes joined.
- The fixed joints present strength and ageing characteristics comparable to those of rigid PVC pipes.
Application:
Prepare the pipes by cutting them at a right angle. Clean and degrease the pipe and socket with a cloth soaked in PVC CLEANER.
Stir well before use. Apply PVC Pegafor with a brush axially from the inside, outwards to form a thin layer in the socket and a thick layer on the pipe. Insert the two parts to the
full depth of the joint without twisting, always within 2 minutes after applying the solvent cement. Hold for 30 seconds while the initial bond takes place. Clean off excess solvent cement with a paper towel and PVC CLEANER.
Allow 5 minutes before handling. For temperatures lower than 10 ⁰C, wait at least 15 minutes before handling.
Drying time: 8 hours depending on weather conditions.
Curing time: 24 hours before performing the pressure test (1.5 x PN).
If the pipes are to be used under pressure within the first 24 hours after bonding, a prior minimum waiting time of 1 hour for each bar of working pressure must be observed. The bonded pipes should be lowered into the trench after 10 to 12 hours.
The finished joint must be kept between 20 and 30 ⁰C for 10 minutes to ensure proper curing.
