Product Name
Cox Airflow 2 Cartridge - Pneumatic 1-Part Caulk Dispenser for 310 & 400mL cartridges (DP1C 310-CA-120-211) aka 159323 aka 61001
Brief Description
This is a professional-grade pneumatic (air-powered) dispenser designed for the precise and efficient application of one-component (1-part) sealants, caulks, and adhesives from 310mL and 400mL cartridges. It's engineered for continuous, high-volume use in industrial and professional settings, offering consistent material flow and reduced user fatigue compared to manual guns.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Sealing gaps, cracks, and joints in various construction and repair tasks.- Applying sealants and adhesives in industrial assembly.- Weatherproofing windows and doors to create airtight and watertight seals.- Caulking around sinks, tubs, and showers to prevent water leaks.- Sealing joints in pipes, tanks, and other equipment in industrial settings.- Automotive and aerospace sealant application.- Underbody coating and mold making.- Facade and cladding applications.- Metal fabrication bonding.- Sign and display assembly.- Concrete crack filling and edge sealing.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/Building Services- General Manufacturing- Metal Fabrication- Cladding- Concrete- Sign & Display- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle- Industrial Supply- Distributers & Resellers- Engineering Services
Special and Unique Features
- Pneumatic operation for consistent, controlled, and effortless material flow.- Ergonomic design with a glass-reinforced nylon handle for comfort and reduced user fatigue during extended use.- Variable speed regulator for precise control over material flow.- Anodized aluminum barrel for lightweight durability and long life.- Direct acting plunger mechanism where air pressure is applied directly to the plunger, minimizing flow-on and ensuring reliable connection.- Swivel hose for easy connection and maneuverability.- Built-in silencer (less than 70dB) for quieter operation (for Combi/Sachet versions, likely applies to cartridge too).- CE and REACH approved, ensuring compliance with European safety and environmental standards.
Key Properties
- Dispensing Type: 1-Part (1K) bead dispenser.- Power Source: Pneumatic (compressed air).- Cartridge Capacity: 310mL (10.5oz) and 400mL (13.5oz).- Maximum Pneumatic Pressure: 6.8 bar (100 psi).- Maximum Thrust: 1.2kN (269lbf - 337lbf depending on specific model/source).- Viscosity Compatibility: Low to medium viscosity sealants and adhesives.- Handle Material: Glass Filled Nylon.- Barrel Material: Anodized Aluminum.- Weight: Approximately 0.73-0.81kg (1.6-1.7lbs).
Surface Compatibility
The dispenser itself doesn't have surface compatibility, but the sealants/adhesives it dispenses are compatible with various surfaces such as:- Wood- Metal- Concrete- Glass- Tile- Plastics- Many building materials (e.g., around windows, doors, bathtubs, showers).
Known backups / known substitutes
- Manual Caulk Guns: Less expensive, portable, suitable for small jobs, but require more hand strength and can be less consistent.- Battery-Powered Caulk Guns (Electric Caulk Guns): Offer consistent power and ease of use, good for extensive projects, more mobile than pneumatic but typically more expensive than manual.- Other Pneumatic Dispenser Brands: Semco (PPG), Fisnar, Albion Engineering.- Cox AirFlow 1 series: Older generation of Cox pneumatic dispensers.- Cox AirFlow 2 Combi/Sachet: Versions designed for both cartridges and foil sachets, or sachets only.
Comparison Note
The Cox Airflow 2 Cartridge pneumatic dispenser offers significant advantages over manual caulk guns in terms of speed, efficiency, precision, and reduced physical strain, making it ideal for professional and large-scale projects. While battery-powered guns offer mobility, pneumatic guns often provide superior power and consistent flow for high-viscosity materials, especially where an air compressor is readily available.
