XTRALIS VESDA 250ML SOLVENT CEMENT

Solvent cement welding is a simple and quick means of constructing high integrity leak free joints. Care must be used to ensure that the correct solvent cement is used and that joining instructions are followed properly.

This specially formulated solvent cement is used with ABS pipe and fittings to join the surfaces together. The solvent cement melts the two surfaces to form a chemical weld when applied correctly between the fittings.
