HammerWeld C-10 Cleaner is a specialized solvent cleaner used in the preparation of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), uPVC (unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), and CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes and fittings before solvent cement application. It is an essential component of the solvent welding process, ensuring proper adhesion and bonding between the pipes and fittings. Here are some key features and benefits of HammerWeld C-10 Cleaner:

1. Removes Contaminants: The cleaner effectively removes dirt, grease, oil, and other contaminants from the surfaces of PVC, uPVC, and CPVC pipes and fittings, ensuring a clean and properly prepared surface for solvent cement application.
2. Promotes Adhesion: By removing surface contaminants, HammerWeld C-10 Cleaner promotes better adhesion between the pipes and fittings and the solvent cement, resulting in stronger and more durable joints.
3. Enhances Joint Strength: Proper cleaning with HammerWeld C-10 Cleaner 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 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. Easy Application: HammerWeld C-10 Cleaner is easy to apply, typically using a brush or applicator to coat the surfaces of the pipes and fittings to be joined. The cleaner evaporates quickly, leaving behind a clean and dry surface ready for solvent cement application.
6. Compatible with Various Pipe Materials: HammerWeld C-10 Cleaner is compatible with PVC, uPVC, and CPVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for a wide range of plumbing and construction applications.

Application

Clear, freely flowing cleaner for PVC, CPVC, UPVC, ASTM & DWV Pipes & fittings up to 24” (600mm) diameter. Used to remove lubricant and dirt from the pipe & fitting surface and prepare the surface for bonding.
