The Research and Development Team at Weld-On Adhésifs is at it again. This time, they developed a revolutionary Apprêt product that will be an essential tool for construction managers and plumbers for many years to come.
For the past 70 years, Weld-On’s priority has been to create dependable, fail-proof products in the Plumbing, Industrial, Pool and Spa and Irrigation industries. The newest product in their arsenal of premium Nettoyants, Apprêts and Ciment à base de solvants (Colle à solvants) has been tested and proven as a breakthrough innovation.
What You Need to Know about the P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt
We all know that Ciment à base de solvants (Colle à solvants) Apprêt is a product applied to PVC Tuyaus before using Ciment à base de solvants (Colle à solvants) to increase the bond between the Tuyaus and joints. Its primary function is to soften the surface and create a receptive layer that enhances the bond strength of the cement.
Apprêts are not new to the market. In fact, Weld-On has been the leading innovator in premium Nettoyants and Apprêts for many years. What is different about the P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt is that it’s the first Apprêt with unique attributes not found in other less effective UV Apprêts on the market.
P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt Attributes
- Dries Transparent and glows Violet / Mauve under UV light.
- THF-free. Safer, low fume formula for installers.
- Teneur en COV ultra faible. Meets the most stringent codes, regulations and SCAQMD Rule 1168/316A.
Dries Transparent and glows Violet / Mauve under UV light.
The most important feature is that the P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt product dries Transparent, eliminating the messy stain often seen when using a Violet / Mauve Apprêt. I know what you’re thinking. How can you have a Transparent drying Apprêt when it needs to pass inspection? Many building codes and industry standards require a Apprêt to ensure connections meet safety and durability requirements, which is critical in large projects where quality control is essential. Well, this Apprêt glows under UV light, making the installation look clean and professional while satisfying even the strictest inspection process.
THF-free. Safer, low-fume formula for installers.
THF-free (tetrahydrofuran-free) can be found in Ciment à base de solvants (Colle à solvants) and Apprêt products, especially for PVC and CPVC applications. Like most Adhésif ingredients, it has some health, safety, and environmental considerations. The P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt is another example of Weld-On’s commitment to providing the safest and most ecological products possible without compromising strength and dependability.
Reduced Health Risks: THF is classified as a hazardous substance by OSHA and other regulatory bodies. It is an organic compound (VOC) that can cause health issues if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. THF-free products minimize these risks, creating a safer environment for workers handling the materials.
Environmental Benefits: Studies show THF could contribute to air pollution, harming ecosystems and public health. THF-free formulations have a lower VOC content, resulting in fewer emissions and a reduced environmental footprint, which is particularly important in projects with strict ecological standards or certifications.
Improved Workplace Safety: THF is flammable and poses safety risks in work environments, especially in confined spaces. Eliminating THF from Apprêts and Ciment à base de solvants (Colle à solvants)s lowers the risk of fires or explosions, making storage and application safer for the installer.
Ultra-low VOC.
Regulatory Compliance: Many regions and industries are adopting stricter VOC regulations to protect the environment and public health. THF-free products can help companies comply with these regulations, avoiding potential fines or restrictions. The P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt meets the most stringent codes and regulations, including SCAQMD Rule 1168/316A.
P-68 UV GLOW™ Apprêt offers numerous advantages, including ease of application, improved bond strength, and UV visibility for quality control. It will be an indispensable product in the construction and plumbing industries, looking for premium, strong, leak-free connections in plastic piping systems. Its UV-detectable feature enhances installation accuracy and supports high standards of safety and durability in building projects.
