Product Name
Albion Coaxial Dispenser for 4:1 & 5:1 ratio Coax (Coaxial) Cartridges (404ml) - Manual (B26C380X4)
Brief Description
A manual, high-thrust dispensing gun specifically engineered for applying two-component materials packaged in 404ml (380ml combined total) coaxial cartridges with 4:1 or 5:1 mix ratios. It features a durable construction with a powerful 26:1 thrust ratio, ensuring smooth and controlled dispensing of medium to high viscosity materials.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Dispensing 3M FIP 1-Step Fire Barrier Rated Foam for firestopping applications.- Applying two-component epoxies, adhesives, sealants, silicones, and resins.- Structural glazing applications requiring precise material placement.- General bonding and sealing in various assembly and repair operations.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services (for firestopping, sealing, and general adhesive applications)- General Manufacturing (for assembly operations utilizing two-component adhesives and sealants)- Automotive Service/Repair (for various bonding, sealing, and repair tasks)- Aerospace/Defense (for high-performance bonding and sealing applications)- Marine (for sealing and bonding in marine environments)- Pool/Spa/Plumbing (for specialized sealing and repair products)- Distributers & Resellers (as a product offered to various industrial and trade customers)- Industrial Supply (as a common tool in industrial maintenance and operations)
Special and Unique Features
- Designed specifically for compact coaxial (cartridge-within-a-cartridge) cartridges, ensuring proper fit and function.- Features a High Thrust 26:1 Ratio Drive, providing significant power for dispensing viscous materials with less effort.- Equipped with Albion's legendary Double Gripping Plates and a robust steel trigger for enhanced durability and longevity.- Incorporates adjustment screw technology to extend the tool's lifespan by allowing users to eliminate wasted motion as components wear.- Manual operation makes it ideal for field applications or remote areas where compressed air or electrical power is not readily accessible.
Key Properties
- Dispenses materials from 4:1 and 5:1 mix ratio coaxial cartridges.- Compatible with 404ml (380ml combined total) coaxial cartridges.- Offers a 26:1 mechanical advantage thrust ratio.- Approximate weight of 4.5 lbs (2.04 kg).- Delivers a maximum thrust of 900 lbf (4 kN).- Achieves a pressure of 223 psi.- Constructed with durable components including a steel trigger and double gripping plates.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with a wide range of surfaces where two-component epoxies, adhesives, sealants, silicones, and fire barrier foams are typically applied. This includes various building materials, metals, plastics, and other substrates, depending on the specific chemical properties of the material being dispensed.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other manual coaxial cartridge guns designed for 4:1/5:1 ratios, such as COX Coaxial Dispensers (e.g., COX CCM 380 for 4:1 and 5:1 ratio).- Cordless coaxial cartridge guns, such as the Albion E18C380X4 (an 18V cordless model), which offer powered dispensing.- Manual coaxial guns designed for different mix ratios (e.g., 10:1) from various manufacturers like Adhesive Dispensing Ltd (e.g., CCM-380A, BG380-1).
Comparison Note
This manual Albion B26C380X4 dispenser provides robust durability and precise control for two-component coaxial cartridges, particularly effective for medium to high viscosity materials. While cordless versions (e.g., Albion E18C380X4) offer increased speed and reduced user fatigue, the manual B26C380X4 stands out as a cost-effective and reliable option for applications where electrical power access is limited or for users who prefer the tactile control of a manual tool. Its high 26:1 thrust ratio provides more dispensing power compared to some other manual guns, which might have lower ratios like 18:1.
