2. Plastic welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_welding

   This technique is commonly used for connecting PVC and ABS pipe, as in household plumbing. The "gluing" together of plastic (polycarbonate, polystyrene or ABS) models is also a solvent welding process. Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) can solvent weld polycarbonate and polymethylmethacrylate. It is a primary ingredient in some solvent ...

3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   The bodies of fittings for pipe and tubing are often the same base material as the pipe or tubing connected: copper, steel, PVC, CPVC, or ABS. Any material permitted by the plumbing, health, or building code (as applicable) may be used, but it must be compatible with the other materials in the system, the fluids being transported, and the ...

4. Solvent bonding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_bonding

   Solvent bonding differs from adhesive bonding, because the solvent does not become a permanent addition to the joined substrate. [4] Solvent bonding differs from other plastic welding processes in that heating energy is generated by the chemical reaction between the solvent and thermoplastic, and cooling occurs during evaporation of the solvent ...

5. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene...

   Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (chemical formula (C 8 H 8) x · (C 4 H 6) y · (C 3 H 3 N) z) is a common thermoplastic polymer. Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F). [4] ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. ABS is a terpolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the ...

6. Plastic pipework - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pipework

   Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is used for the conveyance of potable water, slurries and chemicals. Most commonly used for DWV (drain-waste-vent) applications. It has a wide temperature range, from -40 °C to +60 °C. ABS is a thermoplastic material and was originally developed in the early 1950s for use in oil fields and the chemical ...

7. Repair kit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repair_kit

   A bicycle repair kit, for example, normally contains tools as well as patches and glue to repair a punctured tire. Other kits that include patches and glue are used to fix holes in fabric items such as inflatable boats and tents. Watercraft normally contain both safety equipment and repair kits as part of their emergency equipment.

8. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

   In a fire, PVC can form hydrogen chloride fumes; the chlorine serves to scavenge free radicals, making PVC-coated wires fire retardant. While hydrogen chloride fumes can also pose a health hazard in their own right, it dissolves in moisture and breaks down onto surfaces, particularly in areas where the air is cool enough to breathe, so would ...

9. Plastic cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_cement

   Plastic Cement may refer to: Cement, in the US where it refers to certain formulations of Masonry Cement; Dichloromethane, used to solvent weld some thermoplastics including acrylic; Butanone, model cement is a thick mixture with polystyrene; Tetrahydrofuran, the main solvent in PVC cement
