Product Name
Jensen Plastic Taper Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) Variety Packs - Plastic 1.25-Inch (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24-Gauge)
Brief Description
These industrial-grade, all-plastic, tapered dispensing tips are engineered for precise and controlled application of medium to high viscosity fluids. They feature both push-on and Luer-Lock compatibility, ensuring secure attachment to various dispensing systems, and are offered in a variety of gauges to suit diverse dispensing needs.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Applying adhesives, glues, epoxies, and sealants.- Dispensing lubricants, greases, and oils.- Precision application of solder paste and conductive adhesives.- Potting and filling materials.- Detailed work in arts and crafts.- Laboratory and scientific research for handling minute volumes of liquids (industrial grade only).
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Artist, Artisan- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/ Building Services- Fabrication- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- LED/Electronics- Mold Making/ Casting- Packaging Services or Contractor- Plastic Fabrication
Special and Unique Features
- All-plastic, one-piece construction.- Tapered design for smooth flow and reduced backpressure, especially with viscous materials.- Push-on and Luer-Lock compatibility for secure attachment to dispensing systems.- Variety pack offering multiple gauges (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24-Gauge) for different fluid viscosities and application needs.- Standardized 1.25-inch length.- Offers scratch-free protection for sensitive parts.- High-density molded double-helix thread for secure connection.- Industrial grade and non-sterile.- Some variants may include UV-blocking additives to protect UV-sensitive fluids.
Key Properties
- **Material:** High-density Polypropylene (HDPP) or other plastics like polyethylene or nylon.- **Design:** Tapered, blunt end.- **Compatibility:** Luer-Lock and push-on syringe barrels and dispensing systems.- **Gauge Sizes:** 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24-Gauge, allowing for control over flow rate and bead size.- **Length:** 1.25 inches.- **Pressure Rating:** Safe for use up to 100 psi (industrial grade).- **Silicone-Free:** Certified silicone-free for sensitive applications.- **Disposable:** Often disposable for convenience and to prevent cross-contamination.
Surface Compatibility
- Designed for precise application onto various substrates without scratching, particularly sensitive parts.- Suitable for dispensing onto metals, plastics, glass, and other materials, depending on the fluid being dispensed.- The plastic construction (polypropylene/polyethylene) is compatible with a wide range of fluids including adhesives, epoxies, sealants, greases, oils, and solvents.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Stainless Steel Dispensing Tips:** Offer higher durability, chemical resistance, and temperature range, but are generally more expensive and less flexible.- **Flexible Dispensing Tips (e.g., PTFE or polypropylene tubing):** Ideal for scratch-free results or reaching curved/problematic areas.- **Blunt End Standard Dispensing Tips:** General purpose, often stainless steel, for a wide variety of fluids.- **Brush Tips:** Used for spreading glues and greases.- **PTFE-lined Tips:** Designed for low-viscosity cyanoacrylates and other aggressive adhesives to prevent clogging.- **Manual Syringes/Applicators:** Offer less precise control compared to automated or semi-automated systems with these tips.
Comparison Note
Jensen Plastic Taper Dispensing Tips are particularly effective for medium to high viscosity materials due to their tapered design, which significantly reduces backpressure and promotes smooth, consistent fluid flow, thereby minimizing clogging. Unlike metal tips, these plastic tips are typically lower cost, disposable, flexible, and provide scratch-free application, making them an excellent choice for sensitive substrates. The availability in a variety pack further enhances their versatility, catering to different application requirements and fluid types.
