Weld-On® 725™ Wet ’R Dry™ Low-VOC PVC Solvent Cement
General Description
Weld-On® 725™ Wet ’R Dry™ is a clear, low-VOC, medium-bodied PVC solvent cement. It provides extremely fast setting and high-strength performance for rigid and flexible PVC pipe and fittings.
It is suitable for all classes and schedules of pipe and fittings with interference fits through:
- 6 inches (160 mm) in diameter.
- Schedule 80 pipe through 4 inches (110 mm) in diameter.
Applications
Weld-On® 725™ is specially formulated for wet conditions and applications where quick pressurisation is required. It is suitable for use with:
- Irrigation systems.
- Plumbing systems.
- Swimming pool and spa applications.
- Rigid and flexible PVC pipe and fittings.
On non-pressure systems, it may be used without primer where local regulations permit. Although any Weld-On® primer may be used, IPS recommends using Weld-On® P-75™ Wet ’R Dry™ fast-acting primer with this solvent cement.
Always follow the instructions printed on the container label and consult the pipe and fitting manufacturer’s installation instructions before use.

Special Precaution
Do not use dry granular calcium hypochlorite near PVC or CPVC solvent cements and primers. Contact between these materials, including their vapours, may cause a violent chemical reaction unless the calcium hypochlorite is used in a water solution.
For potable-water systems, purify pipework by pumping chlorinated water through the system rather than introducing dry calcium hypochlorite granules or pellets.
