The global solvents cement market size was estimated at USD 838 million in 2016 and it is expected to reach USD xx million by 2028 with a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period (2017-2028). The global solvents cement market has been witnessing an increasing demand over the past few years due to the increased usage of this product across various industries such as construction, automotive, packaging, and others. A major factor driving this demand is increased investment in infrastructure projects across emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, etc., which will continue to drive up the construction industry in these countries during the forecast period (2021-2028).

The term “solvent cement” refers to a type of pipe joining method that is used for the joining or assembly of Plastic Pipes. It uses solvent compounds, which are solvents with high volatility and low boiling points. The process involves applying these chemicals on both mating surfaces, then putting them together before they dry out. Solvent cement uses chemical reactions between different materials in order to bond two pieces into one piece without using any other material except the actual components themselves, making it an efficient way to join plastics while also saving costs by not having additional costly adhesives needed during installation.
On the basis of Types, the market is segmented into PVC Solvent Cement, CPVC Solvent Cement, ABS Solvent Cement.

PVC Solvent Cement

PVC solvent cement is a kind of plastic material used to join plastics together. It comes in the form of a paste and it works by softening both surfaces on which you want to attach pieces together, at least until they’re sticky. When that happens, then you hold them tightly against each other for some time so that everything may dry completely before using the attached objects again. The use of solvent cement in PVC pipe is to make the joint disappear. The best way to describe how it works is by imagining two pieces of glass with Honey between them, except instead of honey it’s glue – you know that when you press the glasses together they stick, and then if you let go they’re stuck? That’s what solvent cement does for plastics piping systems. They essentially cause a chemical reaction where the plastic becomes one piece (just like wood glue).

CPVC Solvent Cement

CPVC Solvent Cement is a solvent-based compound that can be used to join plastic pipes and fittings. The CPVC Solvent Cement is applied by brush or dipping method, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications for the application. Solvent Cement has been used in manufacturing CPVC pipes for plumbing and drainage applications. It can be seen as a cost-effective alternative to solvent cement, which is expensive but works well with PVC pipelines. Solvent Cement allows a faster installation process compared to conventional cementing methods such as gunning or grinding because it requires less time and effort from the worker’s end.

ABS Solvent Cement

ABS Solvent Cement is a solvent cement that provides good adhesion to ABS materials. It can be used for joining metals and electrical appliances together, as well as other applications where a strong adhesive bond between two different types of plastics or glass surfaces is required.

The available range includes heavy, medium, and regular-bodied solvent cement, ensuring a choice that perfectly matches your needs. Solvent cements are industrial-grade, low in VOC emissions, fast-setting, and offer high strength. They are suitable for all classes and schedules of pipe and fittings, making them a reliable solution for various projects:
