Surface Compatibility
These dispensing tips are designed to apply fluids onto a wide variety of industrial surfaces, including but not limited to:- Metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, brass)- Plastics (e.g., ABS, PVC, acrylics)- Composites- Ceramics- Glass- Wood- Electronic components and circuit boards- Fabric and textiles (for specific applications like bonding)
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other Gauge Dispensing Tips:** Different gauge sizes (e.g., 14-gauge for thicker, 18-gauge for thinner materials)- **Tapered Dispensing Tips:** For very high viscosity materials or to prevent clogging- **PTFE-Lined Dispensing Tips:** Ideal for low-viscosity fluids, cyanoacrylates, anaerobics, and other epoxies prone to clogging in stainless steel- **Flexible Polypropylene Tips:** For scratch-sensitive surfaces or hard-to-reach areas- **Brush Dispensing Tips:** For spreading materials- **Angled-Tip Needles:** For dispensing in confined spaces or at specific angles
Comparison Note
The Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tips (Steel 1/2-Inch Purple 16-Gauge) stand out due to their robust stainless steel cannula and secure Luer Lock hub, making them highly reliable for industrial applications requiring precision with medium to high viscosity fluids. While plastic tapered tips or PTFE-lined tips might be preferred for extremely high viscosity or highly reactive fluids like cyanoacrylates to prevent clogging, the steel 16-gauge offers superior durability and consistent flow for a broad range of general industrial adhesives, sealants, and lubricants. The blunt, burr-free design ensures safety and consistent material deposition, distinguishing them from sharp medical needles.
