HammerWeld P-24 Primer for PVC/uPVC/CPVC pipe systems is a specialized primer used in conjunction with solvent cement for joining PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), uPVC (unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), and CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings. Primers are an essential component of the solvent welding process, helping to prepare the surfaces of the pipes and fittings for optimal adhesion and bonding with the solvent cement. Here are some key features and benefits of HammerWeld P-24 Primer:

1. Surface Activation: HammerWeld P-24 Primer activates the surfaces of PVC, uPVC, and CPVC pipes and fittings, promoting better adhesion and bonding with the solvent cement.
2. Removes Oxidation: The primer removes any oxidation or contaminants from the surfaces of the pipes and fittings, ensuring a clean and properly prepared surface for solvent cement application.
3. Enhances Joint Strength: Proper priming with HammerWeld P-24 Primer ensures that the solvent cement can penetrate and bond effectively with the pipe and fitting materials, enhancing the overall strength and integrity of the joints.
4. Improves Solvent Cement Performance: Clean and activated surfaces allow the solvent cement to spread evenly and penetrate the joint area, ensuring uniform bonding and reducing the risk of leaks or failures over time.
5. Quick Drying: HammerWeld P-24 Primer dries quickly, allowing for efficient assembly of PVC, uPVC, and CPVC piping systems without long waiting times.
6. Easy Application: The primer is easy to apply, typically using a brush or applicator to coat the surfaces of the pipes and fittings to be joined. The primer evaporates quickly, leaving behind a clean and dry surface ready for solvent cement application.
7. Compatible with Various Pipe Materials: HammerWeld P-24 Primer is compatible with PVC, uPVC, and CPVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing and construction applications.
8. Ensures Code Compliance: Proper surface preparation with HammerWeld P-24 Primer helps ensure compliance with industry standards and building codes for solvent welding of PVC, uPVC, and CPVC piping systems.

HammerWeld P-24 Primer plays a crucial role in the solvent welding process, ensuring clean, activated, and properly prepared surfaces for strong and durable joints in PVC, uPVC, and CPVC piping systems. Proper application techniques and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are essential for achieving optimal results and ensuring the integrity of the plumbing installations.

Application

Purple Tinted water thin fluid for PVC, CPVC, UPVC, ASTM & DWV Pipes & fittings up to 24” (600mm) diameter. Primer prepares, penetrates and softens the joining surface more rapidly than cement alone and enhances the bond strength.
