Product Overview
Black Swan's Purple Primer is a purple, non-bodied, fast acting solvent used to soften, clean and prepare plastic pipe and fittings prior to assembly. Purple Primer can be used with all types, schedules and classes of PVC and CPVC pipe and fittings. A low VOC formulation. In most cases a successful solvent cement joint can be made without using a primer/cleaner. If you want to increase probability of making a successful joint, using a primer/cleaner is the thing to do.
Key Features:
- Cleans the pipe and fittings of any dirt, oil, grease and other foreign matter
- Softens the plastic so you can immediately go to the process of fusing the pipe and fitting together
- Purple color makes it easy for any inspector to determine whether a primer has been used
- Directions
- Store below 110ºF (44ºC)
- Use only on PVC and CPVC plastic
- Use within 2 years of date stamped on bottom of can
- Read Black Swan Product Bulletin and GHS
- Cut pipe square and deburr
- Clean and dry joining surfaces
- Check dry fit; Fitting should go over end of pipe easily but become tight about 1/3 to 2/3 of the way on
- Use a suitable applicator at least ½ the size of the pipe diameter; for larger sizes use brush or roller. Do not use a rag as repeated contact with skin may cause irritation or blistering
- Apply primer to inside of fitting equal to socket depth; without delay, coat pipe and end up to socket depth until soft. Apply again to fitting socket. Avoid puddling
- On bell-end pipe, do not coat or allow primer to run beyond socket depth.
- To check penetration, scratch surface. Recoat if necessary. Actual time for priming action is affected by pipe diameter and temperature.
- Immediately while surfaces are still wet, apply appropriate Black Swan cement following directions on cement can.
