Unlike lighter-than-air gases (for example, helium, hydrogen,ammonia, and hot air), the heavier-than-air vapors found in Solvent Cements, Primers, and Cleaners don

17、t readily dissipate intothe atmosphere. These vapors will aggregate (collect) at the bottom of an enclosure (horizontal or vertical pipe) or along the floorof a room. To help mitigate this, some manufacturers allow the piping system to be filled with liquid after the initial set time hasexpired. Che
