Griffon T-88 Fast-Curing Rigid PVC Pipe Solvent Cement (100ml)

Griffon T-88 Solvent Cement is a professional-grade, high-strength chemical welding adhesive engineered specifically for fusing rigid PVC pipes, coupling sockets, and interference-fit fittings. Operating as a fast-acting chemical fusion agent, this specialized liquid solvent temporarily dissolves the contact interfaces of the plastic, melting them together to form a single, seamless, homogenous weld upon curing. It comes highly recommended for commercial plumbers, pool installers, agricultural drainage contractors, and DIYers who require an absolute, high-pressure, watertight seal across domestic and industrial pressure or drainage systems.

Why Choose Griffon T-88 Solvent Cement?

• True Structural Chemical Weld: Unlike lower-grade glues that merely coat a surface, T-88 chemically breaks down the PVC walls inside the joint socket. Once assembled, the joint undergoes cross-linked fusion, becoming physically inseparable and structurally as strong as the pipe itself.

• Heavy-Duty PN16 Pressure Rating: Formulated and rigorously tested to withstand immense hydraulic stress loads. It safely handles operating pressures up to a maximum of 16 bar (PN 16), making it highly reliable for mains water networks, swimming pool filtration loops, and chemical transport.

• Tight-Tolerance Engineering: Optimized for precision engineering specifications with an absolute capacity to bridge maximal tolerances of 0.3 mm diametrical clearance and 0.2 mm press-fit interfaces, ensuring an airtight, leak-free seal.

• Integrated Precision Pipe Brush: The 100ml container is outfitted with a specialized, built-in application pipe brush attached directly to the underside of the screw-top lid. This enables quick, uniform, and clean distribution of the fluid while minimizing product waste and skin contact.

• Clean Colourless Finish: Cures to a completely transparent, colurless finish. This leaves a neat, professional appearance on visible pipework installations, avoiding the messy, colourful staining typical of tinted alternative glues.
