Description
A hard, strong cement prepared by mixing litharge and glycerol. Litharge cement was prepared by diluting glycerin with up to 50% water, then adding enough litharge to produce a paste. It sets in minutes. Fillers were sometimes used to slow setting time and reduce cracking. Litharge cement was used in plumbing and other building applications, such as repairing tubs, sinks, glass, stoneware and pipes.
Synonyms and Related Terms
ciment à la litharge (Fr.); glycerin litharge cement; luting; plumber's cement
Other Properties
Resistant to weak acids (except sulfuric) and hydrocarbons.
