Product Name

MixPac 490ml F-System 10:1 ratio Empty PBT Cartridges Pistons and Sealing Caps (made with PBT plastic great for reactive materials)

Brief Description

These are industrial-grade, empty dual-component cartridges designed for the precise storage and dispensing of 490ml of two-part reactive materials, such as adhesives, epoxies, silicones, and urethanes, at a 10:1 mixing ratio. Made from PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) plastic, they offer excellent chemical resistance, making them ideal for aggressive formulations.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Filling, storing, and dispensing bulk two-part adhesives and sealants.- Applications requiring precise metering and mixing of two-component fluids and compounds.- Bonding and sealing in various manufacturing and construction processes.- Packaging of epoxies, acrylics, silicones, polyesters, epoxy acrylates, hybrids, and urethanes.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Chemical Industry- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/Building Services- Marine- Fabrication- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Distributors & Resellers- Industrial Supply- Packaging Services or Contractor- Mold Making/Casting- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle

Special and Unique Features

- F-System Standard: Industrial standard design for compatibility with F-System dispensing equipment and static mixers.- PBT Plastic Construction: Made with Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) plastic, specifically chosen for its excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for reactive and aggressive materials.- 10:1 Mixing Ratio: Designed for two-part materials requiring a precise 10:1 volumetric mix ratio.- Dual-Component Design: Keeps two adhesive parts separate until dispensed through a mixing nozzle, preventing premature curing.- Self-Venting Lip Seal Pistons: Facilitate easier extrusion and ensure a good seal.- Resealable Cap: Allows for secure storage of unused material.- Industrial Grade & Silicone Free: Indicates high quality and suitability for professional applications.

Key Properties

- High Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including diluted acids, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, solvents, oils, and greases.- Dimensional Stability: Low moisture absorption ensures high dimensional accuracy.- High Strength, Toughness, and Stiffness: Provides good durability and impact resistance.- Thermal Stability: Good durability under thermal stress and high heat-deflection temperature.- Good Electrical Properties: High electrical resistance and dielectric strength.- Wear Resistance: Excellent wear resistance, even in wet conditions.

Surface Compatibility

- Cartridge (PBT) Compatibility: Excellent resistance to reactive materials such as epoxies, acrylics, silicones, urethanes, polyesters, and other two-part fluids. Resistant to diluted acids, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, solvents, oils, and greases.- Dispensed Material Compatibility (General for 2-part adhesives): Adhesives dispensed from these cartridges are typically compatible with a wide range of substrates including plastics (e.g., PET, PBT, PS, ABS, PE, PP), metals, concrete, and wood.

Known backups / known substitutes

- Other MixPac F-System Cartridges: Available in different sizes (e.g., 250ml, 400ml) and other ratios (e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 4:1), and sometimes in PP plastic for less reactive materials.- MixPac B-System or A-System Cartridges: Other MixPac cartridge systems for different volumes and applications.- Other Brands of Dual-Component Cartridges: Competitors offer similar two-part adhesive cartridge systems (e.g., Nordson TAH, Techon Systems, Jensen Global, Semco).- Bulk Packaging with Meter-Mix Equipment: For very large volumes, materials might be supplied in drums or pails and dispensed using dedicated meter-mix and dispense equipment, bypassing cartridges entirely.

Comparison Note

The MixPac 490ml F-System PBT cartridges are specifically engineered for high-performance, reactive two-part materials requiring a 10:1 mix ratio, offering superior chemical resistance compared to standard polypropylene (PP) cartridges, which are typically used for less aggressive formulations. Their F-System design ensures compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard dispensing guns and static mixers for precise and clean application.
