Description
Weld-On 4007 is a clear, medium bodied, syrupy, free flowing, very fast curing, high strength, solvent cement. Initial bond forms very quickly so that some parts may be handled within a few minutes of application. Bond strength continues to develop very rapidly reaching a substantial level within hours. Joints are weather resistant and will generally have physical and chemical properties similar to those of rigid vinyl.
Substrate Recommendations
Weld-On 4007 is specifically formulated for solvent cementing rigid Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and foamed PVC to themselves and each other.
Bonding Recommendations
Weld-On 4007 is recommended for vinyl where a medium bodied cement is desired. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications. It may be used on both large and small assemblies, large displays, signs, lighting fixtures, housewares, large and small containers, toys, electrical or electronic assemblies, decorator items, etc.

Directions
Directions for Use
Joint Preparation: Parts to be joined should fit without forcing. Surfaces should be clean and smooth. A good machine finish or sanding with 200-400 grit sandpaper should be satisfactory. Some molded and extruded parts may have a very hard and glossy surface which may require special priming to prepare the surface prior to cementing. In these cases, contact us for further information.
Application of Cement: Weld-On 4007 can be applied by brush, spray, roller coating, pump-type oil cans, polyethylene squeeze bottles and other devices. Cement may be applied to one or both surfaces.
Assembly of Parts: Assemble while parts are still wet. If cement is applied to one surface, let the two surfaces be in gentle contact for a few seconds to allow the cement to soften the dry surface. Then press parts together in firm contact. If both of the parts have been coated, they may be brought firmly together immediately. The application of pressure of 2 to 10 lbs per square inch should materially increase bond strength. Spring-loaded clothespins may be very suitable as clamps. The length of time required for clamp or jig pressure will vary. A few hours or more may be needed for difficult joints, but only a few minutes for parts that fit well, and have modest load requirements.
Shelf Life
Three years expectancy in tightly sealed containers. Stability of the product is limited by the permanence of the container and the evaporation of the solvent when container is open. Evaporation of solvent will cause the cement to thicken and reduce its effectiveness.
Safety
Safety and Environmental Precautions
This product is a flammable solvent cement. It is considered a hazardous material. In conformance with the Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act, the following hazards and precautions are given. Purchasers who may re-package this product must also conform to all local, state and federal labeling, safety and other regulations.
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. Keep container closed when not in use. Store away from direct sunlight between 40º F – 110º F (5º C – 43º C). Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing of vapors. Atmospheric levels should be maintained below established exposure limit values contained in Section II and VIII of the Material Safety Data Sheet. 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 respirator 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, safety goggles and impervious apron should be used. Carefully read Material Safety Data Sheet and follow all precautions.
Contains Tetrahydrofuran (109-99-9), Methyl Ethyl Ketone (78-93-3) and Cyclohexanone (108-94-1). Do not use this product for other than intended use.
“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 of 1986 and of 40CFR372.

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.
