Product Name
MixPac MAHX 05-17T (#102536) Medium Mixing Nozzle for 4:1 ratio 42ml and 10:1 ratio 35ml Cartridges - 4-inch 17-element Bayonet Static Mixers
Brief Description
The MixPac MAHX 05-17T is a disposable static mixing nozzle engineered for the thorough and consistent blending of two-component adhesives, sealants, and resins. It is specifically designed for use with 50ml (and sometimes 75ml) bayonet-style cartridges, accommodating materials with 4:1 and 10:1 mixing ratios. The nozzle features 17 internal helical elements that ensure a homogenous mixture without any moving parts.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Dispensing two-part epoxy adhesives- Mixing polyurethane adhesives and sealants- Applying methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives for structural bonding- Blending polyester resins for fiberglass and composite applications- Combining high-performance silicone sealants- Mixing acrylic adhesives- Use in automotive and industrial seam sealing- Potting and encapsulating electronic components- General assembly and repair applications
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/ Building Services- Concrete (for repair and bonding)- Electrical Services or Products (for electronics, communications, potting/encapsulating)- Energy (e.g., wind turbine assembly and repair)- Fabrication (general and composite applications)- General Manufacturing- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Metal Fabrication (for structural bonding)- Mold Making/ Casting (for potting and encapsulating resins)- Plastic Fabrication (for bonding plastics)- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (e.g., aircraft, automotive, RV interiors)
Special and Unique Features
- Features a secure bayonet (twist-lock) connection for quick attachment to compatible cartridges.- Specifically designed for precise mixing of 4:1 and 10:1 ratio two-component materials.- Contains 17 internal helical mixing elements, ensuring efficient and consistent blending of components.- Equipped with a stepped outlet tip that can be cut back to adjust the orifice size and control flow rates.- Disposable design eliminates the need for cleaning, saving time and reducing solvent use.- Constructed from high-grade polypropylene, ensuring industrial-grade safety and silicone-free material.
Key Properties
- Mixer Type: Helix- Number of Mixing Elements: 17- Inner Diameter: 5.4 mm (0.213 inches)- Length: Approximately 103-104 mm (4.07-4.09 inches)- Housing Material: Polypropylene (PP)- Element Material: Polypropylene (PP)- Compatible Cartridge Ratios: 4:1 and 10:1- Compatible Cartridge Sizes: 35ml, 42ml, 50ml, and 75ml bayonet-style cartridges.- Waste Volume: 1.68 ml- Color: Natural outer housing with orange internal elements.
Surface Compatibility
The MixPac MAHX 05-17T nozzle itself does not have surface compatibility. Its function is to thoroughly mix two-component adhesives and sealants, such as epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, acrylics, and methacrylates. These mixed materials are then applied to a wide range of substrates, including but not limited to metals, various plastics, composites, concrete, and wood, depending on the specific adhesive chemistry being used.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other static mixer nozzles from manufacturers like Sulzer (Medmix), Nordson EFD, TAH, or Infinity Bond, provided they feature a bayonet connection and are designed for 4:1 or 10:1 mixing ratios.- The MixPac MAHX 04-17S is a similar, though rarer, compatible nozzle.- Static mixers with varying numbers of elements or lengths may serve as substitutes, depending on the specific mixing requirements and viscosity of the materials.- Manual mixing is a less efficient and less consistent alternative, often leading to air entrapment and inconsistent material properties.
Comparison Note
The MAHX 05-17T is a key component of the Sulzer Mixpac A-System, specifically identifiable by its orange mixing elements, which signify its compatibility with 4:1 and 10:1 ratio cartridges. In contrast, other Mixpac series like MAH typically feature white elements for 1:1 and 2:1 ratios, while MAQ series (green elements) are Quadro mixers with a distinct square internal design. Its 17 elements provide an optimal balance of mixing quality and minimized material waste for a medium-length nozzle, making it a reliable choice for various industrial applications.
