Weld-On solvent cements and primers are trusted across a wide range of applications, but many users may not realize that Weld-On also offers several container types designed for different jobsite needs. From quick repairs to large-scale installations, each container style is built to improve application, handling, durability, and efficiency. Choosing the right container is not just a matter of preference. It can also help improve performance on the job.
Tin Can with Lid
The tin can with lid is the most commonly used container worldwide. Its sealing properties help prevent evaporation and provide a long shelf life for both cements and primers, making it a dependable and economical choice for many applications.
Can with Lid Dauber
A favorite among professional installers, the quart can includes a 1.5-inch dauber applicator designed for pipe diameters up to 3 inches. For larger pipe sizes, users can switch to a swab for proper coverage. These containers are also compatible with Weld-On SuperDauber and SuperSwab accessories.
Wide Mouth Can
The wide mouth can is ideal for extra heavy-bodied and high-viscosity cements. Its larger opening makes it easier to access thicker formulations that may not pour well from standard containers, especially when using a brush applicator.
Gallon Can
For users focused on cost efficiency, the gallon can provides an effective bulk solution. Cement can be transported to the jobsite in larger quantities and then distributed into smaller containers for easier application and reduced dry time during installation.
Tubes
Tubes are designed for quick fixes and smaller applications involving one or two small-diameter joints. Available in multiple sizes, some Weld-On tubes also feature special applicator caps that allow for cleaner, more controlled application.
Plastic Bottle with Brush
Popular in Europe, the plastic bottle with brush is preferred by users who favor brush-style application over a dauber. The durable plastic bottle is dent-resistant, making it well suited for demanding field environments.
Tin Can with Plastic Cap
This hybrid container combines a metal can with a plastic cap featuring an integrated stem and brush. Designed primarily for European markets, it offers improved durability while helping reduce common issues such as broken wire dauber stems. The cap’s winged design also makes opening and fastening easier.
Conclusion
No matter the application, Weld-On offers a container solution designed to support efficient, reliable installation. Selecting the proper container type can help improve usability, application control, and overall jobsite performance.
