Product Name
MixCoat MFQ Straight Mixing Nozzles for MixPac Spray Coating System
Brief Description
MixCoat MFQ Straight Mixing Nozzles are disposable static mixing nozzles specifically designed for the MixPac Spray Coating System. They are engineered to ensure precise and homogeneous mixing of two-component (2K) coating materials directly from cartridges, facilitating efficient and high-quality application for straight spraying tasks.
Popular Applications & Uses
- 2-component coating repairs and maintenance jobs across various sectors.- Protection of ships, water/oil/gas tanks, vessels, pipelines, and steel constructions against abrasion, corrosion, and erosion.- Small to medium-sized maintenance and repair projects.- Application of high solids 2-K coatings.- General bonding and sealing applications where two-part epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, and acrylics are used.- Field joint coating.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/Building Services- Countertop- Distributers & Resellers- Energy (e.g., wind turbines, oil/gas tanks, pipelines)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- General Manufacturing- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Sign & Display
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for straight (non-90-degree angle) spraying applications.- Available in Medium Flow (with a gray spray tip for thicker materials) and High Flow (with a green spray tip for thinner materials) options.- Guarantees that materials are mixed to the precise, prescribed ratio through a consistent and reliable process.- Helps minimize overspray and reduce material waste.- Disposable nature ensures clean, efficient, and mess-free application, eliminating the need for manual cleaning.- Incorporates a check valve for enhanced performance and prevention of cross-contamination.- Integrates seamlessly with the portable MixCoat spray system, requiring only a pressurized air connection for operation.- Compatible with MixPac F-System cartridges, typically ranging from 940 mL to 1500 mL.- Features a dual check-valve configuration for both Part A and Part B components.
Key Properties
- Type: Static mixing nozzle.- Design: Straight configuration for direct application.- System Compatibility: Engineered for the MixPac Spray Coating System and MixPac F-System cartridges.- Flow Rate Options: Offers Medium Flow (MF) and High Flow (HF) variants to accommodate different material viscosities.- Mixing Elements: Contains a specific number of internal mixing elements (e.g., 18 elements for MFQ 07-18C-06).- Inner Diameter: Features specific inner diameters (e.g., 7.5mm/0.295inch for MFQ 07-18C-06).- Material: Typically constructed from durable plastic.- Connection Type: Utilizes a simple interlock mounting method for secure attachment to cartridges.- Supported Mixing Ratios: Facilitates the mixing of various 2-component ratios, such as 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1, depending on the system setup.
Surface Compatibility
These nozzles are used to apply a variety of coatings to a broad range of surfaces, including:- Steel structures and components.- Marine vessels, offshore platforms, tanks, and pipelines.- Concrete surfaces for repair and waterproofing applications.- Diverse substrates where epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, acrylics, and methacrylates are applied.- Surfaces requiring robust protection against abrasion, corrosion, and erosion.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other types of static mixing nozzles, including spiral, Quadro, helical, tapered, stepped, or Luer lock designs, which offer different mixing characteristics or dispensing precision.- Angled (90-degree) mixing nozzles, such as the MixCoat MFQA, designed for reaching corners or difficult-to-access areas.- Generic static mixing nozzles that are compatible with MixPac or other dispensing systems, often offering a cost-effective alternative.- Static mixers from other reputable brands like Nordson EFD, TAH, Fisnar, Re Mixers, 3M, Sika, Henkel Loctite, Bostik, and Xemex.- Manual mixing methods, though these typically result in less consistent mixing, higher material waste, and increased labor.- Alternative application tools such as brushes or rollers, when a spray system is not required or feasible.
Comparison Note
MixCoat MFQ Straight Mixing Nozzles, as an integral part of the MixPac Spray Coating System, offer a significantly faster, simpler, and cleaner method for applying 2-component coatings compared to conventional manual mixing and application techniques. This system substantially reduces labor costs, minimizes material waste, and ensures a consistently high-quality application. Their straight design is specifically optimized for direct surface application, providing a clear advantage for broad area coverage, in contrast to angled nozzles which are better suited for corners or hard-to-reach spots. The internal static mixing elements are crucial for achieving a homogeneous blend of reactive materials, which is essential for the optimal performance and curing of the applied coatings.
