FAQ

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds which are emissions from materials. Low VOC products contribute to cleaner air. All Weld-On products are either Low VOC or Ultra Low VOC.

In 2019 Weld-On released the ECO series of Ultra Low VOC solvents and primers with 30% lower solvent emissions and odor.

Primers pre-soften the surface of the pipe and fitting before the solvent cement is applied so that maximum fusion can take place

For best results we recommend using the Weld-On Primer designed to go with your product. The product performance and results cannot be guaranteed with lesser quality primers.

No. The Weld-On primer must be wet and fluid. The purpose of the primer is to soften the joining surfaces of the pipe and fitting allowing proper penetration and dissolution of joining surfaces prior to Weld-On solvent cement application. This step is specifically recommended for large diameters, PVC Schedule 80, CPVC piping and cold weather installations.

Weld-On primers, PVC and ABS solvent cements: 3 years shelf life
 Weld-On CPVC solvent cements: 2 years shelf life

All Weld-On primers and solvent cements have expiration dates imprinted on the outside of the case boxes. Each can also has the expiration date and the manufactured date imprinted on the bottom. The shelf life is also stated in the product bulletin of each Weld-On product.

Yes. CPVC solvent cement technically will work on PVC piping. However, we recommend that the correct Weld-On primer and PVC solvent cement for the particular application should be used. Please note that PVC solvent cement, because of temperature limitations, is not recommended for CPVC piping.
