Abstract
Provided are solvent cement formulations that include cyclopentanone, one or more additional solvents, and at least one resin. The formulations can contain a high concentration of dissolved resin, which confers beneficial properties and enables the use of the formulations for bonding large diameter piping components.
Claims7
A solvent cement formulation consisting of:
- a solvent package consisting of at least 30% cyclopentanone and up to about 30% acetone, based on the total weight of the formulation, and optionally one or more additional organic solvents selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, methyl isobutyl ketone, 1,3 dioxane, methyl acetate, propyl acetate, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, propylene carbonate, and any combination thereof;
- at least one resin present in an amount of at least about 12% by weight to about 20% by weight, wherein the at least one resin includes a polyvinyl chloride resin, a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin, an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin, or an acrylic resin;
- optionally, from 0.25% to 5% of a stabilizer;
- optionally, from 0.5% to 5% of silica;
- and
- optionally, additives selected from the group consisting of a colorant, lubricant, plasticizer, thickener, emulsifier, antioxidant, thixotropic agent, polymeric rheology additive, processing aids, and combinations thereof;
- wherein the solvent cement formulation is configured to bond components having resin-based surfaces and is capable of dissolving at least a portion of the resin-based surfaces.
