Product Name
MixCoat MFH & MFHA Mixing & Spray Nozzles
Brief Description
The MixCoat MFH & MFHA Mixing & Spray Nozzles are static mixing and spray nozzles specifically engineered for the precise and efficient application of two-component (2K) materials, such as coatings, adhesives, and sealants. These nozzles are an integral part of the Mixpac MixCoat system, ensuring that the two components are thoroughly and homogeneously mixed just prior to dispensing, which is critical for optimal material performance and cure.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Spraying two-component paints and protective coatings for various surfaces.- Repair work on pipelines, bridges, tanks, and wind turbines.- Bonding and sealing applications requiring accurately mixed two-part materials.- Application of materials in confined or difficult-to-access areas, especially with the 90-degree angled MFHA variant.- Touch-up and small to medium-sized maintenance jobs involving 2K coatings.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/Building Services for protective coatings and structural bonding.- Marine for coatings and sealants in shipbuilding and maintenance.- Energy sector, including pipeline repair, wind turbine maintenance, and tank coatings.- Aerospace/Defense for specialized coatings and repair applications.- General Manufacturing for various assembly, bonding, and coating processes.- Industrial Supply companies that distribute dispensing equipment and consumables.- Distributers & Resellers of industrial adhesives, sealants, and coatings.
Special and Unique Features
- Designed specifically for seamless integration with the Mixpac MixCoat system.- Ensures precise and consistent mixing of two-part materials, crucial for optimal bond strength and chemical resistance.- Available in both straight (MFH) and 90-degree angled (MFHA) configurations to suit diverse application needs, including hard-to-reach areas.- Utilizes helix mixing technology for outstanding mixing efficiency.- Features an optional dual non-return valve to prevent dripping and cross-contamination of components.- Compatible with a range of mix ratios, including 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1.- Disposable design eliminates the need for cleaning, reducing labor and waste.- Optimized for medium to high viscosity materials, ensuring effective dispensing.
Key Properties
- Material: Typically constructed from high-grade polypropylene for durability and chemical resistance.- Mixing Elements: Internal spiral or helical elements designed for optimal material blending.- Mix Ratios Supported: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1.- Inner Diameter: Commonly 8mm for MFH/MFHA 08-32C-13 models.- Element Count: Often 32 elements for thorough mixing, as seen in MFH/MFHA 08-32C-13.- Flow Type: Medium flow, suitable for high viscosity materials.- Connection Type: Designed for compatibility with MixCoat F-System cartridges.
Surface Compatibility
The MixCoat MFH & MFHA Mixing & Spray Nozzles are designed to dispense two-component coatings, adhesives, and sealants that are compatible with a wide array of substrates. These materials are commonly applied to surfaces such as metals, concrete, composites, plastics, and various other construction and industrial materials, depending on the specific chemical formulation being used.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other brands of static mixing nozzles designed for two-component adhesive and coating cartridges (e.g., Nordson EFD, Infinity Bond).- Manual mixing and application methods (e.g., brushes, rollers) for two-component materials, though these often result in inconsistencies and increased waste.- Alternative two-component dispensing systems that may use different mixer designs or application techniques.
Comparison Note
The MixCoat MFH & MFHA Mixing & Spray Nozzles offer significant advantages over traditional manual mixing and application methods. They ensure a consistently accurate mix ratio, eliminating human error and guaranteeing optimal performance of two-component materials. This precision leads to stronger bonds, more durable coatings, and reduced material waste. Their design facilitates efficient application, particularly for sprayable coatings and in challenging access areas, thereby enhancing productivity and overall application quality.
