Plastochem SWR pipe rubber lubricant is a specialized product formulated to facilitate the smooth installation of PVC pipes and fittings in drainage systems. It helps reduce friction during assembly, ensuring that pipes fit together seamlessly and securely, while also providing additional protection against wear and degradation.

Benefits of Using Plastochem Rubber Lubricant for SWR Pipes

  • The lubricant allows for easier insertion of pipes into fittings, reducing the risk of damage during installation.
  • A properly lubricated joint ensures a tighter seal, minimizing the chances of leaks in your SWR system.
  • The lubricant helps maintain the integrity of rubber seals and gaskets, extending their lifespan.
  • Suitable for various applications, including waste, soil, and rainwater systems, making it an essential tool for plumbers and contractors.
  • Provides a barrier against moisture, further protecting the integrity of the joints.

How to Use SWR Pipe Rubber Lubricant in only 4 steps

Step 1: Prepare the Surfaces

  • Ensure that the ends of the PVC pipes and fittings are clean and free from dirt, dust, or grease. A clean surface allows for better adhesion and sealing.

Step 2: Apply the Lubricant

  • If using a spray bottle, give it a good shake before application.
  • Spray or apply a generous amount of rubber lubricant to both the pipe and the fitting. Ensure complete coverage for optimal performance.

Step 3: Assemble the Joint

  • Quickly and carefully insert the lubricated pipe into the fitting. A slight twisting motion can help distribute the lubricant evenly.
  • Make sure the pipe is aligned properly within the fitting to ensure a secure fit.

Step 4: Allow to Set

  • After assembling the joint, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the lubricant to settle and the bond to strengthen before putting any stress on the joint.

Safety Precautions

  • Always work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes from the lubricant.
  • Wear gloves and goggles to protect your skin and eyes from contact with the lubricant.

Store the lubricant in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain its effectiveness.
