Abstract
Provided are primer formulations for solvent cement bonding comprising cyclopentanone and, optionally, at least one additional organic solvent. The primer formulations are effective for solvent cement bonding plastic components together, wherein the plastic components may include ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipes and/or fittings.
Claims3
A THF-free primer formulation for use with solvent cements, wherein the primer formulation consists of:
- cyclopentanone in an amount of 30 wt % to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation;
- 40% to 55% acetone based on the total weight of the formulation,
- at least one additional organic solvent selected from the group consisting of methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof;
- optionally, one or more fillers or additives;
- and
- optionally, a colorant composition;
- wherein the primer formulation is configured to bond components having resin-based surfaces and is capable of dissolving at least 10% of the resin-based surfaces.
A THF-free primer formulation for use with solvent cements to bond components having a resin-based surface, wherein the primer formulation consists of:
- cyclopentanone in an amount of 45 wt % based on the total weight of the formulation;
- up to 55% acetone based on the total weight of the formulation;
- and
- a colorant composition;
- wherein the primer formulation is configured to dissolve at least 10% of the resin-based surface.
A THF-free primer formulation for use with solvent cements to bond components having a resin-based surface, wherein the primer formulation consists of:
