Abstract
A process for the adhesive bonding of plastic pipes with and without a fitting by use of a (meth)acrylate adhesive and also corresponding pipe connections, are described.
Claims20
A method for cohesively connecting plastic pipes to a fitting, comprising the steps of:
- (a) applying a (meth)acrylate-containing adhesive onto at least one joining surface of the fitting and/or onto at least one joining surface of the pipe ends to be connected without swelling or dissolution of at least one joining surface therewith,
- (b) sliding together the pipes and fitting, and
- (c) allowing the adhesive to cure between the joining surface(s).
A pipe network made up of at least two plastic pipes with or without a fitting insert between the pipe ends, suitable for potable water lines, industrial water lines, and/or for pressure drainage, wherein the joined surfaces of the joined parts connected to one another are attached with a (meth)acrylate-containing adhesive without swelling or dissolution of the joined surfaces.
