Abstract

Amorphous polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrenes (ABS) are frequently joined by solvent welding. A solvent welded joint is similar to an adhesive joint except that a solvent cement is used in place of the adhesive. Solvent welding is particularly important in plastic piping systems since at least 50% of plastic left bracket e. g. uPVC, ABS and cellulose acetate butyrate right bracket pipes are joined using this technique. The aim of this paper is to report on an investigation into the structure and mechanism of failure of solvent welded joints. This study is part of an overall investigation of the long term properties of solvent welded joints in uPVC pipes.
