Safety Precautions
For over 40 years, millions of solvent
cemented joints have been made with only
rare cases of mishap. However, since flam-
mable and toxic solvents are a part of these
products, appropriate safety precautions
should be used.
All solvent cements and primers for plastic
pipe are flammable and should not be used
or stored near heat, spark, open flames and
other sources of ignition.
Vapors may ignite explosively. Keep contai-
ners closed when not in use and covered as
much as possible when in use.
Use in well ventilated area. If confined or
partially enclosed, use forced ventilation or
NIOSH-approved respirator. Avoid breathing
vapors.
Atmospheric levels should be maintained
below established exposure limits contai-
ned in the product's Material Safety Data
Sheet. If airborne concentrations exceed
those limits, use of NIOSH-approved organic
vapor cartridge with full face piece is
recommended.
The effectiveness of an air purifying respira-
tor is limited.
Use it only for a single, short term exposu-
re. For emergency and other conditions
where short-term exposure guidelines may
be exceeded, use an approved positive pres-
sure self-contained breathing apparatus.
Do not smoke, eat or drink while using these
products.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Cure Times and Required Quantities
Set and Cure time for flue gas venting applications only.
Average initial set Schedule For System 636 CPVC Solvent Cements**
Note: Initial set schedule is the necessary time to allow before the joint can be carefully handled.
Average Joint Cure Schedule For System 636 CPVC Solvent Cements**
Note: Joint cure schedule is the necessary time to allow before commissioning the system. In damp or humid weather
allow 50% more cure time.
** These figures are estimates based on our laboratory tests. Due to the many variables in the field, these figures
should be used as a general guide only. Depending on conditions, CPVC may require longer set/cure times.

Wash clothing if contaminated before re-
use. May cause eye injury.
Protective equipment such as gloves, gog-
gles and an impervious apron should be
used. Keep out of reach of children.
Carefully read our Material Safety Data
Sheets and follow all precautions.
First Aid
Inhalation: If ill effects from inhalation,
remove to fresh air. If not
breathing, give artificial respi-
ration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Call a physician.
Eye Contact: Flush with plenty of water for
15 minutes and call a physi-
cian.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of soap
and water for at least 15
minutes. If irritation develops,
get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed give 1 to 2 glas-
ses of water or milk, DO NOT
INDUCE VOMITING. Contact
physician immediately.
Use Caution with Welding Torches
At construction sites where plastic pipe is
being installed or has recently been solvent
welded, extreme caution should be taken
when using welding torches or other equip-
ment where sparks may be involved.
Flammable vapors from cemented joints
sometimes linger within or around a piping
system for some time.
Special care must be taken when using a
welding torch around plastic pipe systems
in industrial plant areas with little or no air
circulation. In all cases, solvent vapors must
be removed by air circulation, purging, or
other means prior to the use of welding tor-
ches, or other spark or flame generating
equipment or procedures.
Storage and Handling
of System 636 Cement and Primer
Store System 636 cement and primer in
the shade between 4ºC (40ºF) and 43ºC
(110ºF) or as specified on label. Keep away
from heat, spark, open flame and other
sources of ignition. Keep container closed
when not in use. If the unopened container
is subjected to freezing, it may become
extremely thick or gelled.
This cement can be placed in a warm area,
where after a period of time, it will return to
its original, usable condition.
But such is not the case when gelatin has
taken place because of actual solvent loss—
for example, when the container was left
open too long during use or not properly
sealed after use. Cement in this condition
should not be used and should be properly
discarded.
IPEX solvent cements are formulated to be
used "as received" in original containers.
Adding thinners or primers to change visco-
sity is not recommended. If the cement is
found to be jelly-like and not free flowing, it
should not be used.
