Let's talk about two very critical and simple steps for a successful electrofusion process : proper pipe Scraping and pipe Cleaning! 
Before you even think about fusing those pipes, it's crucial to ensure that your HDPE is clean and free of contaminants. Why? Because improper pipe preparation is common cause of improper fusion resulting in joint leaks! Here’s why you should never skip these steps:
Maximized Joint Integrity: Dirt, grease, or debris on the pipe surface can create weak points in your fusion joint. A clean surface ensures a solid bond that can withstand pressure and environmental stress, reducing the risk of leaks down the line.
Safety First: Proper cleaning and preparation directly impact the reliability of your joints. Leaks can lead to safety hazards, regulatory issues, and costly repairs. Nobody wants unexpected surprises after a project is completed!
Cost-Effective: Investing time in thorough preparation can save you money in the long run. Avoid the headaches of repair and downtime caused by leaks that could have been prevented with proper pipe preparation.
Better Performance: Clean and well-prepared pipes improve the overall performance of your system. Enjoy peace of mind knowing you’ve set your project up for success from the start!
Pro Tip: Use 90% or greater Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the pipe surface after scraping the pipe. And don’t forget to scrape off any oxidation from the surface. Proper pipe scraping is essential for achieving the right melt characteristics of the pipe. The goal here is to expose clean virgin resin to ensure a strong bond. It's recommended to remove a minimum of 0.007” to 0.010” of the pipe’s surface material during the scraping process. This thickness is roughly equivalent to two sheets of paper. A little effort now goes a long way later!
Remember, the strength of your fusion is only as good as your preparation! Let’s keep those pipelines flowing smoothly and leak-free.
