Ratio-Pak Empty Cartridge (14-thread outlet) / Nylon / 75ml - 7661440

Product Name

Ratio-Pak Empty Cartridge (14-thread outlet) / Nylon / 75ml - 7661440

Brief Description

This product is an empty, single-component nylon cartridge designed for integration into the Nordson Ratio-Pak system. It facilitates the precise packaging and dispensing of two-part (2K) materials such as adhesives, sealants, potting compounds, and coatings, ensuring accurate on-ratio mixing when combined with another Ratio-Pak cartridge and a static mixer.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Packaging and dispensing two-component adhesives, sealants, and potting compounds.- Encapsulating and gap-filling applications requiring precise, on-demand mixing.- Applying foams and coatings that require two-part chemical reactions.- Ideal for low to medium-volume manufacturing, remote job sites, and specialized assembly tasks where meter-mix equipment is not practical.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Cabinet & Woodworking- Construction/ Building Services- General Manufacturing- Medical Device/ Prosthetics- Metal Fabrication- Mold Making/ Casting- Plastic Fabrication- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle- Distributers & Resellers- Engineering Services

Special and Unique Features

- Part of the Nordson Ratio-Pak snap-together system, allowing individual cartridges to combine with other Ratio-Pak cartridges of any size to achieve various mix ratios (from 1:1 up to 25:1) and volumes.- Constructed from durable Nylon material, offering robust performance.- Features a 14-thread outlet, ensuring a secure connection for static mixers and dispensing nozzles.- Compatible with industry-standard 2K dispense guns, providing ease of integration into existing workflows.- Can be filled through the nozzle or the backside of the cartridge.

Key Properties

- **Material:** Nylon, known for its good chemical resistance and stable chemical properties, suitable for a wide range of chemical formulations.- **Volume:** 75ml usable capacity.- **Outlet Thread:** 14-thread, designed for secure attachment of dispensing accessories.- **System Compatibility:** Engineered for two-component (2K) dispensing systems, ensuring accurate and consistent mixing ratios when used with a corresponding Ratio-Pak cartridge and static mixer.- **Durability:** Robust construction ensures reliable application in various industrial settings.

Surface Compatibility

As an empty cartridge, its compatibility refers to the range of materials it can safely contain. The Nylon construction provides broad chemical compatibility, making it suitable for packaging various two-component chemical formulations, including epoxies, urethanes, acrylics, and silicones. It can withstand many organic solvents, dilute acids, and dilute alkalis.

Known backups / known substitutes

- Other Nordson EFD two-component cartridge systems, such as Side-by-Side (SBS) cartridges, u-TAH cartridges, and coaxial cartridges, which offer different designs and volumes.- Two-component cartridge systems from alternative manufacturers like Sulzer, Mixpac, Plas-Pak, and Ritter.- Bulk dispensing methods using pails, cans, tubs, or tubes, which typically require manual mixing.- Meter-mix equipment, suitable for large-scale, automated dispensing applications.

Comparison Note

The Nordson Ratio-Pak empty cartridge system offers a significant advantage over traditional manual mixing by ensuring precise, on-ratio dispensing, thereby reducing labor, material waste, and potential health risks. Its unique snap-together design provides greater flexibility in combining different mix ratios and volumes compared to pre-filled, fixed-ratio side-by-side cartridges, potentially optimizing inventory management. This system provides a portable and cost-effective solution for applying two-component materials, serving as an efficient bridge between labor-intensive manual methods and expensive, high-volume meter-mix dispensing equipment.
