MixCoat 1500ml 1:1 Spray Cartridges for MixCoat 2-part Spray Coating System (AF 1500-01-14-01 or AF 1500-01-30-01) (153493 or 128218)

Product Name

MixCoat 1500ml 1:1 Spray Cartridges for MixCoat 2-part Spray Coating System (AF 1500-01-14-01 or AF 1500-01-30-01) (153493 or 128218)

Brief Description

These MixCoat 1500ml 1:1 Spray Cartridges are essential components of the Sulzer Mixpac (now Medmix Mixpac) 2-part spray coating system. They are designed to hold and precisely dispense two-component (2K) materials such as coatings, adhesives, sealants, epoxies, silicones, and urethanes in a 1:1 volumetric ratio. The cartridges work in conjunction with MixCoat dispensers (manual or pneumatic, including spray and flex systems) and static mixers to ensure accurate, consistent, and waste-minimized application. They are particularly suited for small to medium-sized repair, maintenance, and touch-up jobs, offering a professional and efficient alternative to traditional hand-mixing or larger, more complex plural-component spray equipment.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Application of 2-component paints and coatings- Repair and maintenance of protective coatings- Stripe coating of rail car exteriors- Application of 100 percent solid epoxy linings for tanker cars- Roofing applications for rapid cure sealants and membranes- Corrosion protection for steel structures, pipelines, bridges, tanks, and wind turbines- Coatings in marine environments, including tanks and bilges- Touch-up and small project applications where minimal waste and quick setup are critical- Dispensing of 2-part adhesives, epoxies, silicones, and urethanes- Applications in confined spaces or hard-to-reach areas using the MixCoat Flex system

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/Building Services- Energy (e.g., wind power, pipeline, tank, railcar)- Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Government & Military- Industrial Supply- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle (e.g., railway)

Special and Unique Features

- **Cartridge-based System:** Components are kept separate until forced through a static mixer, minimizing waste and eliminating concerns about pot life.- **Precise 1:1 Mixing Ratio:** Guarantees accurate and consistent mixing of two-component materials for high-quality application.- **Reduced Waste:** Designed for efficient material usage, minimizing overspray and allowing partially used cartridges to be recapped and reused.- **User-Friendly Design:** Easy to set up, operate, and maintain, reducing labor costs and minimizing downtime.- **Low-Pressure Air-Assisted System:** Reduces overspray and the risk of environmental pollutants compared to high-pressure airless systems.- **Safety:** Prefilled cartridges protect applicators from direct contact with unmixed material, and low-pressure operation reduces injury risk.- **Versatility:** Accommodates various types of 2-part coatings, adhesives, and sealants, and can be used with different application tools (spray, brush, roller).- **F-System Compatibility:** Designed to fit industrial standard F-System dispensers and static mixers.- **Self-Venting Pistons:** Ensures leak-free storage and prevents air entrapment during filling and dispensing.- **Reinforced PP Material:** Cartridges are made from reinforced polypropylene (PP) for durability.

Key Properties

- **Volume:** 1500ml (50.7oz)- **Mix Ratio:** 1:1- **Material:** Reinforced Polypropylene (PP) or Polyamide (PA/Nylon)- **Piston Style:** Self-venting lip seal pistons- **Mixer Compatibility:** F-System static mixers- **Dispenser Compatibility:** MixCoat Spray, Flex, Dispense, and Manual dispensers (DM 1500, DPD 1500, DPS 1500, DPF 1500, etc.)- **Leak-Free Storage:** Valve piston technology prevents premature mixing and cross-contamination.- **Heat Resistance:** Approved and tested for heating up to 50°C for optimized performance.

Surface Compatibility

The cartridges themselves are not directly applied to surfaces, but the 2-part coatings, adhesives, and sealants dispensed from them are compatible with a wide range of industrial substrates. These typically include:- Steel structures (for corrosion protection)- Concrete (e.g., roofing, construction)- Various metals (e.g., pipelines, tanks, railcars, automotive components)- Composite materials (e.g., wind turbine blades)- Other materials requiring protective, decorative, or adhesive coatings, depending on the specific 2-part material filled into the cartridge.

Known backups / known substitutes

- **Other MixCoat Cartridge Ratios:** MixCoat systems also offer cartridges in 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 ratios, which would be used with corresponding plungers and dispensers for different material chemistries.- **Traditional Plural-Component Spray Systems:** For very large-scale applications, traditional plural-component (hot spray) systems are an alternative, though they involve higher setup costs, more waste, and longer preparation times for smaller jobs.- **Hand Mixing and Manual Application:** For very small touch-ups, materials can be hand-mixed and applied with brushes or rollers, but this method is prone to inconsistencies, waste, and labor intensity.- **Other 2-Part Cartridge Systems:** While MixCoat cartridges are specific to the MixCoat system, other manufacturers offer proprietary 2-part cartridge systems for various adhesives and sealants, though direct interchangeability with MixCoat dispensers is unlikely.- **Ratio-Pak Cartridge Systems:** Mentioned as compatible with some MixCoat accessories, suggesting a potential alternative for certain dispensing needs.

Comparison Note

The MixCoat 1500ml 1:1 Spray Cartridges, as part of the broader MixCoat system, offer significant advantages over traditional application methods for 2-component coatings. Unlike cumbersome plural-component spray equipment, MixCoat provides a portable, lightweight, and cost-effective solution for small to medium-sized jobs, drastically reducing setup and cleanup times. Compared to manual mixing and application, the cartridge system ensures precise, on-ratio mixing, minimizing human error, material waste, and chemical exposure, while delivering consistent, high-quality finishes. Its versatility in handling various 2K materials and adaptability to different application tools (spray, brush, roller) makes it a highly efficient and professional standard for protective and repair coatings.
