Tangit DTX solvent cement for PVC-U and PVC-C up to d140 0.500 kg

  Datasheet (PDF)

Georg Fischer Tangit DTX is a high-performance industrial solvent cement engineered for the chemical bonding of thermoplastic pressure piping systems exposed to aggressive media. Formulated specifically for industrial piping networks constructed from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (PVC-C), Tangit DTX provides superior resistance against critical chemicals, including inorganic acids and alkalis where standard adhesives are insufficient. Supplied in a 0.500 kg tin, this specialized solvent cement is formulated for socket jointing of pipe, fitting, and valve components up to outer diameter d140.

In industrial installations handling demanding chemicals, joint integrity is critical to prevent leaks and structural degradation. Tangit DTX chemically welds the contact surfaces of PVC-U and PVC-C spigots and sockets, creating a homogenous, gap-filling joint capable of handling full operational pressures up to PN16 at 20 degrees Celsius. Its controlled viscosity ensures even application across nominal dimensions up to d140 mm, avoiding dripping while achieving thorough surface wetting. The specialized formula resists chemical diffusion and stress cracking, maintaining high shear strength throughout the service life of chemical processing, dosing, and industrial treatment facilities.

Proper joint execution requires strict adherence to standard thermoplastic jointing practices. Before applying Tangit DTX, pipe ends must be cut squarely, deburred, and chamfered, with both mating surfaces thoroughly cleaned and degreased using a dedicated cleaner for PVC-U, PVC-C, and ABS. Clean surfaces allow the solvent carrier to penetrate and plasticize the substrate properly, ensuring complete molecular fusion upon curing.
