Cyclohexanone is used in PVC cement primarily as a solvent. It effectively dissolves PVC (polyvinyl chloride), allowing the cement to penetrate and bond the surfaces being joined. This solvent action facilitates a strong chemical bond as the PVC materials fuse together during the drying process, ensuring a durable and reliable joint. Additionally, cyclohexanone's relatively low volatility helps maintain the working time before the cement sets.
