Product Name
Individual Pistons for the MIXPAC J-System 1500ml 1:1 Ratio Cartridge
Brief Description
These individual pistons are essential components for the Sulzer Mixpac J-System 1500ml 1:1 ratio side-by-side cartridges, designed for the precise and clean dispensing of two-component materials. They ensure the separation of reactive components until mixed at the point of application, facilitating accurate volumetric ratios and preventing premature curing or cross-contamination.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Crack repair in various structures.- Waterproofing applications.- Roofing projects.- Chemical anchoring.- Repairing holes and joints.- Dispensing crack sealants, epoxy resins, and cement mortar.- Bonding various materials like silicone, acrylic, polyurethane, and epoxy.- General assembly requiring two-part adhesives.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Aerospace/Defense- Energy (e.g., solar power installations, wind turbines)- Concrete (for repair, crack filling, joint sealing)- Distributers & Resellers
Special and Unique Features
- Designed for the Sulzer Mixpac J-System, a "construction line" known for reliability and budget-consciousness.- Ensures precise 1:1 mixing ratio for two-component materials.- Often features a self-venting design, allowing air to escape during piston insertion for air-free filling.- Provides clean and safe storage of two-component materials within the cartridge.- Compatible with manual or pneumatic dispensers for reduced user effort.
Key Properties
- Material: Typically PP (Polypropylene) or PA (Nylon) for cartridges, implying piston compatibility.- Volume: Specifically for 1500ml cartridges.- Ratio: Designed for 1:1 mix ratio applications.- Pressure Rating: Industrial grade, rated up to 100 psi sustained pressure.- Silicone-free: Ensures compatibility with various adhesive types.- Piston Type: Often diaphragm or lip seal type, sometimes self-venting.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with materials designed for bonding to a wide range of surfaces including concrete, metal, plastic, glass, and fiber-reinforced plastic.- Used with adhesives like silicone, acrylic, polyurethane, and epoxy, which adhere to diverse substrates.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other piston types within the Sulzer Mixpac J-System (e.g., different venting mechanisms).- Pistons for other Sulzer Mixpac systems (e.g., F-System, B-System, Q-System) for different cartridge sizes or applications.- Alternative two-component dispensing systems from other manufacturers (e.g., Nordson EFD, Techcon Systems, Graco).- Smaller volume cartridges or different mix ratios if the application allows.
Comparison Note
These pistons are specifically engineered for the large-volume (1500ml) 1:1 ratio MIXPAC J-System cartridges, which are often preferred for construction-grade applications due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness compared to smaller industrial variations. Their design, particularly self-venting options, streamlines the filling process and ensures air-free dispensing, critical for consistent material performance.
