Product Name
MixPac MFH 08-18T F-System Mixing Nozzle for 1:1 & 2:1 ratio larger 2-part cartridges (200ml, 225ml, 250ml, 380ml, 400ml)
Brief Description
The MixPac MFH 08-18T F-System Mixing Nozzle is a disposable static mixer from Sulzer MixPac, engineered for the precise and efficient blending of two-component adhesives, sealants, and other chemical materials. It is specifically designed for use with Sulzer's F-System cartridges, accommodating larger volumes ranging from 200ml to 400ml (and 490ml) with common 1:1 and 2:1 mixing ratios.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Dispensing two-part epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, acrylics, and methacrylates.- Bonding and sealing applications in various industrial settings.- Potting and encapsulating electronic components.- Structural glazing and general assembly.- Repair and maintenance tasks, such as concrete repair or aircraft assembly.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/ Building Services- Energy (e.g., wind turbine assembly and repair)- Fabrication- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Metal Fabrication- Mold Making/ Casting- Plastic Fabrication
Special and Unique Features
- **F-System Connection:** Features a secure locking twist cap for reliable attachment to Sulzer F-System cartridges, preventing leaks and ensuring consistent dispensing.- **Helix/Round Static Mixing Elements:** Utilizes an internal helix/round element design to achieve thorough and homogeneous blending of two-part materials without any moving parts.- **Dual Orifices:** Designed with separate inlet ports to prevent cross-contamination and premature curing of materials before they enter the mixing elements.- **Stepped Tip Outlet:** The stepped tip allows for direct dispensing or can be cut back to increase orifice size, and it is compatible with luer lock dispensing tips for finer, more precise application.- **Broad Cartridge Compatibility:** Suitable for a range of larger F-System cartridge sizes, including 200ml, 225ml, 250ml, 380ml, 400ml, and 490ml, supporting 1:1 and 2:1 mix ratios.- **Industrial Grade Materials:** Constructed from high-quality, silicone-free polypropylene, ensuring durability and chemical resistance for industrial applications.
Key Properties
- Ensures consistent and homogeneous mixing of two-part adhesives and sealants.- Disposable design reduces cleanup time and effort.- Minimizes material waste through precise mixing and controlled application.- Easy and secure attachment to F-System cartridges.- Operates reliably without moving parts, requiring low maintenance.- Inner Diameter: 8.0 mm (0.315 in).- Number of Elements: 18.- Length: 187 mm (7.362 in).- Retained Material Volume: 7.40 ml.- Maximum Pressure: 100 PSI (6.89 Bar).
Surface Compatibility
The MixPac MFH 08-18T nozzle itself is made of polypropylene. It facilitates the application of various two-part adhesives and sealants (such as epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, acrylic, and methacrylate) that are compatible with a wide range of substrates, including metals, plastics, composites, wood, concrete, and other materials, depending on the specific adhesive or sealant being dispensed.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Sulzer MixPac F-System nozzles with varying element counts (e.g., MFH 08-24T or MFH 08-32T) for different mixing requirements or lengths.- Sulzer MixPac MFHX series nozzles, designed for different mix ratios (e.g., 4:1 or 10:1).- Static mixing nozzles from alternative manufacturers such as Nordson, Hernon, Btektech, or Ebestron.- Manual mixing, though this method typically results in less precision, higher material waste, and inconsistent results.
Comparison Note
The MixPac MFH 08-18T F-System Mixing Nozzle provides an optimal balance of efficient mixing and minimal waste volume for common 1:1 and 2:1 ratio two-part adhesives dispensed from larger cartridges. While nozzles with a higher number of mixing elements (e.g., MFH 08-32T) can offer more thorough blending, particularly for very high-viscosity or challenging-to-mix materials like certain polyurethanes, the 18-element MFH 08-18T is highly effective for a broad spectrum of epoxies, silicones, and acrylics, ensuring reliable performance across many industrial applications. Its dedicated F-System connection guarantees a secure, leak-proof attachment and actively prevents cross-contamination, offering a significant advantage over less specialized or manual mixing methods.
