Product Name
Individual Pistons for the MixPac 200ml 1:1 ratio cartridges
Brief Description
These individual pistons are essential components for Sulzer MixPac 200ml 1:1 ratio dual cartridges, designed for the precise and efficient dispensing of two-component adhesives and sealants. They play a critical role in sealing the cartridge, preventing air entrapment during filling, and ensuring a consistent, bubble-free material flow during application.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Dispensing two-part epoxies, adhesives, silicones, acrylics, and polyurethanes.- Bonding, fastening, and coating applications in various industries.- Sealing, potting, and gap filling.- Repair applications.- Field-filling of cartridges.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Cabinet & Woodworking- Construction/ Building Services- Energy (Solar power installations, wind turbines, alternative energy)- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- Marine- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Self-venting design: Allows excess air to escape during cartridge filling, preventing air bubbles and ensuring smooth, efficient dispensing.- Leakproof sealing: Ensures safe storage and application of two-component materials.- Precise metering: Contributes to accurate application and consistent mixing quality.- Compatibility with standard MixPac C-System and F-System cartridges.- Designed for use with 200ml 1:1 ratio dual cartridges.
Key Properties
- Material: Often made from Polypropylene (PP).- Function: Seals cartridge, prevents air entrapment, facilitates material dispensing.- Compatibility: Specifically designed for MixPac 200ml 1:1 ratio dual cartridges.- Type: Lip seal pistons, valve pistons, or self-venting pistons.
Surface Compatibility
These pistons are compatible with the internal surfaces of Sulzer MixPac 200ml 1:1 ratio dual cartridges, typically made of PP or PA plastic. They are designed to work with a wide range of two-component adhesive materials including silicone, acrylic, polyurethane, and epoxy.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other types of pistons designed for MixPac cartridges (e.g., for different ratios or cartridge sizes), though specific 1:1 200ml pistons are required for optimal performance.- Generic pistons for dual cartridges, but these may not offer the same self-venting or leakproof features as genuine MixPac pistons.- Using cartridges that come pre-filled with pistons.
Comparison Note
Individual MixPac pistons, especially those with self-venting technology, offer superior performance compared to standard or generic pistons by actively preventing air entrapment during filling and dispensing. This leads to more precise metering, consistent mixing quality, and a reduction in material waste and rework. Their design ensures leakproof storage and efficient application, which is crucial for high-performance two-component materials.
