Special and Unique Features
- **Quadro (Square) Mixing Elements:** Features a square body and internal elements, which are known to reduce wasted material by approximately 50% compared to traditional helix nozzles.- **Optimal Mixing Efficiency:** The 24-element design ensures thorough and consistent mixing of two-part materials, crucial for achieving desired adhesive properties and strong bonds.- **Interlock Mounting:** Designed with a simple interlock mechanism for secure attachment to 50ml AB series and AB S series cartridges, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring correct A-B alignment.- **Luer Outlet:** Equipped with a luer slip tip outlet, allowing for quick push-on attachment of various luer dispensing tips for more precise application.- **Industrial Grade & Silicone-Free:** Constructed from high-grade polypropylene with green elements, ensuring durability and suitability for industrial environments, free from silicone contamination.
Key Properties
- **Length:** 4.5 inches (115mm / 122mm).- **Number of Elements:** 24.- **Inner Diameter:** 5.3mm (0.21 inches).- **Mix Ratios:** Compatible with 1:1 and 2:1 ratio two-component materials.- **Material:** Polypropylene housing and elements.- **Color:** Green elements.- **Maximum Pressure:** 100 PSI (6.89 Bar).- **Retained Material Volume:** 2.60ml.
Surface Compatibility
The nozzle itself does not directly contact the bonding surface, but it dispenses adhesives compatible with a wide range of substrates, including:- Metals- Plastics (HSE and LSE)- Composites- Glass- Concrete/Brick/Stone- Wood (implied by cabinet & woodworking applications for adhesives)- Fabric/Paper (for certain adhesive types)- Foam (for certain adhesive types)
Known backups / known substitutes
- **3M EPX Green Mixing Nozzle:** Fully compatible with 3M Stock Number 62-9154-9148-4 (UPC 0-76308-86434-7) and Bulk 3M Stock Number 62-9171-9954-9 (UPC 0-63806-01003-1).- **MixPac MAQ 05-24L:** Another Sulzer Mixpac static mixer with similar specifications.- **MixPac MCQ 05-24L:** A similar static mixer, though it typically uses a retaining nut attachment for larger cartridges (200ml, 400ml, etc.) rather than the interlock for 50ml B-System.- **Other MixPac MBQ series mixers:** Such as MBQ 05-16L, which is shorter with fewer elements.- **Other static mixing nozzles:** From various manufacturers designed for two-part adhesive cartridges, though compatibility with the 3M EPX B-System interface would need to be verified.
Comparison Note
The MixPac MBQ 05-24L stands out due to its specific design for 3M EPX 50ml Duo-Pak cartridges, offering a guaranteed-correct A-B alignment and efficient mixing for 1:1 and 2:1 ratios. Its quadro (square) element design is noted for reducing material waste by approximately 50% compared to traditional helical nozzles, making it a cost-effective choice for applications requiring precise and consistent two-part adhesive dispensing. The longer 24-element configuration is particularly beneficial for urethane and many epoxy adhesives that demand more thorough mixing.
