IPS CORPORATION LOW VOC PVC SOLVENT CEMENT

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
WELD-ON® 717™ is a clear or gray, low VOC emission, heavy bodied, medium setting, high strength PVC solvent cement for all
classes and schedules of pipe and fittings, including Schedule 80, with interference fit through 12 inch (315 mm) diameter. It has
good gap filling properties and is recommended for solvent cementing joints where a sizable gap exists between pipe and fitting –
e.g. large pipe sizes – and when more working time is required in warm weather.

APPLICATION:
WELD-ON 717 is for use on all types of PVC plastic pipe applications, Type I and Type II. It is suitable for use with potable water
pressure systems, irrigation, turf, conduit, industrial pipe applications, sewer, drain, waste and vent systems.
Detailed directions on making solvent cemented joints are printed on the container label. An installation DVD/CD covering solvent
cementing is available. It not only describes the basic principles of solvent cementing, but also covers the handling, storage and
use of our products. It is highly recommended that the installer review the instructions supplied by the pipe and fitting manufacturer.
NOTE: WELD-ON solvent cements must never be used in a PVC system using or being tested by compressed air or gases; includ-
ing air-over-water booster.

AVAILABILITY:
Gray cement is available in ½ pint (237 ml), pint (473 ml), quart (946 ml) and gallon (3.785 l) metal cans. Clear cement is available in
¼ pint (118 ml), ½ pint (237 ml), pint (473 ml), quart (946 ml) and gallon (3.785 l) metal cans. For detailed information on containers
and applicators, see our current Price List.

SPECIFICATIONS:
COLOR: Clear or Gray
RESIN: PVC
SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 0.963 ± 0.04
BROOKFIELD VISCOSITY: Minimum 1,600 cP @ 73 °± 2°F (23° ± 1°C)

SHELF LIFE:
3 years 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. Evaporation of solvent will cause the cement to thicken
and reduce its effectiveness. Adding of thinners to change viscosity is not recommended and may significantly change the proper-
ties of the cement.

QUALITY ASSURANCE:
WELD-ON 717 is carefully evaluated to assure that consistent 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 solvent cement.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
This product is flammable and considered a hazardous material. In conformance with the Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act, the
following hazards and precautions are given. Purchasers who repackage this product must also conform to all local, state and federal labeling,
safety and other regulations. VOC emissions do not exceed 510 grams per liter.

DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. VAPOR HARMFUL.

MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. MAY IRRITATE SKIN OR EYES.
Keep out of reach of children. Do not take internally. Keep away from heat, spark, open flame and other sources of ignition. Vapors may ignite
explosively. Solvent cement vapors are heavier than air and may travel to source(s) of ignition at or near ground or lower level(s) and flash
back. Keep container closed when not in use. Store between 40°F (5°C) and 110°F (44°C). Avoid breathing of vapors. Use only in well-venti-
lated area. If confined or partially enclosed, use forced ventilation. When necessary, use local exhaust ventilation to remove harmful airborne
contaminants from employee breathing zone and to keep contaminates below 25 ppm TWA. Atmospheric levels must be maintained below
established exposure limits contained in Section II of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). If airborne concentrations exceed those limits,
use of a NIOSH approved organic vapor cartridge respirator with full face-piece is recommended. The effectiveness of an air-purifying respira-
tor is limited. Use it only for a single short-term exposure. For emergency and other conditions where short-term exposure guidelines may be
exceeded, use an approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not smoke, eat or drink while working with this product.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. May cause eye injury. Protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and impervious apron should
be used. Carefully read Material Safety Data Sheet and follow all precautions. Do not use this product for other than intended use.
“SARA Title III Section 313 Supplier Notification”: This product contains toxic chemicals subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313
of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 and of 40CFR372. This information must be included in all
MSDS that are copied and distributed for this material.

FIRST AID:
Inhalation: If overcome with vapors, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call physician.
Eye Contact: Flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes and call a physician.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
If irritation develops, get medical attention.
Ingestion: If swallowed, give 1 or 2 glasses of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting.
Contact physician or poison control center immediately.

SPECIAL PRECAUTION:
Do not use a dry granular calcium hypochlorite as a disinfecting material for water purification in potable water piping systems. The introduc-
tion of granules or pellets of calcium hypochlorite with PVC and CPVC 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This product is intended for use by skilled individuals at their own risk. These suggestions and data are based on information we believe to
be reliable. Installers should verify for themselves that they can make satisfactory joints under varying conditions. Toward this end, it is highly
desirable that they receive personal instruction from trained instructors or competent, experienced installers. Contact IPS® Corporation or
your supplier for additional information or instructions.
