This professional-grade cement creates a molecular fusion between CPVC surfaces, resulting in joints that are stronger than the pipe itself. The medium-bodied yellow formulation provides optimal gap-filling properties and working time, making it ideal for both professional plumbers and DIY installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1-step formula eliminates the need for separate primer application in most installations, streamlining the joining process while maintaining superior bond strength. The distinctive yellow color allows for easy visual verification of cement application, ensuring complete coverage for leak-free joints. Compatible with all Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC pipes and fittings, this solvent cement is engineered to withstand continuous hot water service up to 93°C and maintains full pressure rating throughout the system's lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- TECH SPECS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fcefb9;
