LOCTITE SI 5331, Liquid Thread Sealant for Pipes, Silicone Sealer for Cold and Hot Water Carrying Plastic and Metal Pipes, Vibration Resistant Silicone Sealant, 12x100ml

Product Information

When wrapped around a pipe, it fuses to form a solid rubber band over the leak area, providing a repair that is temperature resistant up to 200°C and WRAS approved for use on pipes carrying drinking water.

The first step to ensuring you use the correct adhesive is to correctly identify your pipe and fittings material. PVC is generally white, whereas CPVC is usually light gray or cream colored, and CPVC CTS is a tanish/yellow color. If you are still not certain after looking at the color of the pipes, PVC, CPVC, and CPVC CTS pipes all come with the technical specifications printed on them. Is the connection a slip or threaded end?

Clean the surface: Use a brush or cloth to remove any dust or debris from the surface before applying sealant. This will greatly enhance the sealing. When pressure can be turned off, use an epoxy putty. Sylmasta formulate several putties which can be used as pipe sealants. Superfast Copper is used for domestic and smaller pipework, Superfast Steel for industrial pipework, and Superfast Plastic for all types of plastic pipe. Basically, the sealant is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. But there are recipes that specialize in a certain type. So, in internally processed products, supplements are used to protect the seams from corrosion, bacteria and fungi. Depending on the application, there may be some code involved, particularly in plumbing, when choosing a piping adhesive. It is important to know any codes you might be working under to ensure you pass inspection. For instance, some codes require you use a colored primer, so that they can have visual evidence that primer was used. What are you hoping to achieve?

What kind of material are you using?

Pipe sealants are types of adhesives predominately used in plumbing applications to connect pipes and other threaded connections. Pipe sealants are manufactured to create a secure connection via a permanent seal bridging the space between two connecting components. As mentioned before, PVC primer and cement are used on slip connections. These substances are completely different, but should be used together for maximum effect. These are some of the strongest PVC pipe adhesives. Primer acts as a cleaner, preparing the pipe by softening it's surface and removing any glaze that may be present. People often buy colored primer, as plumbing code sometimes requires visual proof of primer use. PVC cement is often referred to as "glue," but it works in a very different way. This substance actually breaks down and chemically bonds two PVC parts together. In effect, PVC cement makes two PVC parts inseparable. The repair is 100% characterized by good resistance to temperature (from -40 to + 100 ° C) and UV exposure. It is commonly used to treat gutters, pipes, air conditioning and ventilation systems. It is recommended to use it at temperatures from +5 to + 40 ° С. How To Choose A Pipe Thread Sealant?

Connect the pieces: Immediately connect the pipe with the fitting, making sure it goes all the way. Give it a quarter turn to spread the cement, ensuring a solid bond.

CPVC can withstand higher temperatures than PVC. CPVC sealant can handle higher temperatures than PVC sealant. Apply PVC cement: When the primer is dry, use a different brush to apply PVC cement to the same areas. Apply the cement in a thin, even layer.
