Product Name
Maven MV400-36X Manual High-Power 36X Thrust 2-Part Adhesive Dispenser for all 400ml & 415ml (1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 Ratio) Cartridges
Brief Description
The Maven MV400-36X is a robust, manual high-power adhesive dispenser engineered for the precise and efficient application of two-part (dual-component) adhesives from 400ml and 415ml cartridges. Featuring a powerful 36:1 thrust ratio, it significantly multiplies hand strength, making it ideal for dispensing high-viscosity materials such as MMAs, acrylics, and thick epoxies, even in colder environments. This dispenser is designed for professional and industrial use, ensuring consistent mixing ratios and controlled material flow for optimal bond strength and reduced waste.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding and sealing various components in assembly operations- Structural bonding in construction and fabrication- Repair and maintenance tasks requiring strong, reliable adhesion- Applying adhesives for circuit board assembly and component bonding in electronics- Sealing and bonding interior and exterior parts in automotive and specialty vehicle manufacturing- Assembling furniture and cabinetry, including edge banding- Precision bonding in medical device assembly- Filling cracks and sealing pipes, such as in pool and spa repair- General industrial assembly and repair where two-part adhesives are utilized

Key Properties
- **Dispenser Type:** Manual, high-power, two-part adhesive dispenser- **Thrust Ratio:** 36:1 (mechanical thrust multiplier)- **Maximum Force:** 500kgf (4.9kN)- **Cartridge Volume Compatibility:** 400ml (13.5oz), 395ml (13.3oz), 415ml (14oz), 385ml (13oz)- **Mix Ratio Compatibility:** 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1- **Material Compatibility:** Optimized for high-viscosity adhesives like MMAs, acrylics, and thick epoxies- **Construction Materials:** Hardened aluminum alloy (handle/trigger), chrome-plated steel (push plates/rods), powder-coated steel (frame/catch plate)
Surface Compatibility
The dispenser itself does not directly contact the bonding surface. Its compatibility is determined by the two-part adhesive being dispensed. This dispenser is suitable for adhesives designed to bond to a wide range of industrial substrates, including:- Metals (e.g., steel, aluminum)- Plastics (e.g., ABS, PVC, composites)- Glass- Wood and wood products- Concrete and masonry- Ceramics- Fiber-reinforced plastics- Rubber
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other Manual 2-Part Adhesive Dispensers:** Various brands offer manual dispensers with different thrust ratios (e.g., 18:1, 26:1) and cartridge capacities. Examples include other Maven models (MV200-36X, MV490-36X, MV600-36X) or similar products from manufacturers like Cox, Albion, or Sulzer.- **Pneumatic (Air-Powered) Dispensers:** For higher volume or reduced operator fatigue, pneumatic dispensers offer consistent flow with less manual effort.- **Battery-Powered Dispensers:** Provide portability and consistent power without the need for an air compressor.- **Automated Meter, Mix, and Dispense (MMD) Systems:** For high-volume production lines requiring extreme precision and repeatability, these systems are fully automated.
Comparison Note
The Maven MV400-36X stands out among manual dispensers due to its exceptionally high 36:1 thrust ratio, providing superior power for dispensing very thick or high-viscosity two-part adhesives that might be challenging for lower-thrust manual guns. While automated or pneumatic systems offer advantages in high-volume, repetitive tasks, the MV400-36X provides a cost-effective, portable, and robust solution for applications requiring manual control, precision, and significant dispensing force, especially for industrial-grade epoxies, acrylics, and MMAs. Its broad cartridge compatibility further enhances its versatility compared to dispensers limited to specific cartridge sizes or ratios.
