SHELF LIFE:
The product Weld-On 705 Gray has a shelf life of 3 years. To maximize shelf life the cement must be stored in tightly sealed containers. The date code of manufacture is stamped on the bottom of the container. Stability of the product is limited by the evaporation of the solvent when the container is opened. Adding of solvents is not recommended and may significantly change the properties of the cement.
QUALITY ASSURANCE:
Weld-On 705 is carefully evaluated to ensure that consistently high quality is maintained. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and additional in-depth testing ensures each batch is manufactured to exacting standards. A batch identification code is stamped on each can and assures traceability of all materials and processes used in manufacturing this product.
SPECIAL PRECAUTION:
Weld-On solvent cements must never be used in PVC piping systems using or being tested by compressed air or gases; including air-over-water booster.
Do not use in conjunction with flue gas ventilation systems. Do not use a dry granular calcium hypochlorite as a disinfecting material for water purification in potable water piping systems. The introduction of granules or pellets of calcium hypochlorite with PVC solvent cements and primers (including their vapors) may result in a violent chemical reaction if a water solution is not used. It is advisable to purify lines by pumping chlorinated water into the piping system – this solution will be nonvolatile. Furthermore, dry granular calcium hypochlorite should not be stored or used near solvent cements and primers.
This product is intended for use by skilled individuals at their own risk. Installers should verify for themselves that they can make satisfactory joints under varying conditions. Detailed directions on making solvent cemented joints are printed on the container label. It is highly recommended that the installer review the instructions supplied by the pipe and fitting manufacturer.
