 All Hercules cements, primers and cleaners
have low V.O.C.

With plastic pipe use at an all-time high, professional contractors rely on Hercules plastic pipe cements, primers, and cleaners to join pipe and fittings securely and without leaks. Hercules plastic pipe cements are manufactured to very tight specifications to ensure consistently high performance.

Low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Release of VOCs may affect the environment or human health, depending on the particular chemicals involved, the quantities and concentrations.  Also, a number of states have legislation mandating the use of low-VOC compounds. Because Hercules Chemical Company ® is a leader in manufacturing specialty products for the construction trades, we have converted our line to Low-VOC solvent cements, primers and cleaners for use with PVC, ABS and CPVC pipe. These Low-VOC products meet the requirements established by the same rules that have been adopted by LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Each of our products has been formulated to provide the same performance and reliability as our former regular solvent cements, primers and cleaners.

Hercules LEED Technical Bulletin
UnPurple Primer®
Made in the USA Made in the USA
 

Hercules UnPurple Primer is designed to be used anywhere that regular purple primer can be used.  Instead of being colored purple, a clear primer with a unique patented ultraviolet sensitive ingredient reveals its purple presence under UV light, helping to prevent staining and the resulting property damage.  Patented Unpurple Primer is designed to work identically to other PVC/CPVC primers.  No new technique is involved in the installation or testing. Simply apply as any other primer would be used.  
  
This product meets standards set by the
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and the specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as required by the Uniform Plumbing Code of the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).
