Engineered for tradespeople who demand a reliable, fast-setting bond, Bostik Pipe Cement Type N Blue is the industry standard for joining rigid PVC pressure and non-pressure pipe systems. Formulated as a thickened, blue-tinted solvent cement, it fills small gaps while chemically fusing mating surfaces, creating a joint that is stronger than the pipe itself.

Why choose Bostik Type N?

Certified strength – complies with AS/NZS 3879 (PVC Pipe & Fittings Solvent Cements) for potable-water and drainage applications.
Fast initial grab – fixture time as little as 30 seconds at 20 °C; reach handling strength in under 15 minutes, minimising downtime on site.
Gap-filling viscosity – thixotropic blend bridges minor mis-alignments and out-of-round pipe ends up to 0.6 mm.
Visible application – bright blue colour shows exactly where cement has been applied, reducing the risk of dry joints.
Weather tolerant – proven performance from 0 °C to 40 °C; resists softening under continuous hot-water flow (up to 60 °C).
Broad chemical compatibility – suitable for potable water, storm-water, DWV, irrigation, pool plumbing and most chemical-handling PVC lines.

Application guide

Preparation – cut pipe square, deburr and dry-fit; lightly abrade mating surfaces and wipe with Bostik PVC Priming Fluid if required.
Daubing – stir cement, then apply an even layer to both spigot and socket with the attached brush.
Assembly – push pipe fully home with a quarter-turn twist to spread cement; hold for 30 seconds until initial set.
Cure – avoid mechanical stress for 15 minutes; allow 24 hours per 25 mm of pipe diameter before pressure testing.

Safety & storage

Bostik Pipe Cement Type N Blue is flammable and emits solvent vapours. Use in a well-ventilated area, keep away from ignition sources and wear nitrile gloves. Store upright below 30 °C and replace lid tightly after use to prevent skinning.
