What is pvc solvent cement made up of?

PVC solvent cement is primarily composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, solvents (such as tetrahydrofuran or acetone), and additives that enhance its performance, such as stabilizers and plasticizers. The solvents work to dissolve the PVC resin, allowing it to bond with the surfaces of the pipes or fittings being joined. Once applied, the solvent evaporates, leaving a strong, durable bond as the PVC material fuses together. This cement is commonly used in Plumbing and construction applications for joining PVC pipes.
