Brief Description
The Maven MV490-36X is a robust manual, high-power adhesive dispenser engineered for the precise and efficient application of two-part adhesives from 490ml (10:1 ratio) cartridges. It is particularly well-suited for dispensing high-viscosity materials such as MMA adhesives, acrylics, and thick epoxies.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Seaming solid surface countertops (e.g., Corian®, HI-MACS, Formica®, Staron®)- Bonding quartz, granite, and natural stone countertops with epoxy or polyurethane adhesives- Creating invisible seams in kitchen and bathroom countertops- Repairing chips, cracks, or joint gaps in solid surface installations- Cabinet assembly and general bathroom/kitchen fabrication- Applying epoxy anchoring systems in concrete or masonry- Acrylic bonding for architectural panels and decorative surfaces- Dispensing polyurethane sealants in structural and glazing applications- Applying silicone adhesives for waterproofing and weather sealing- Use with polyester and polyurea adhesives in specialty construction projects- Marine repairs and various industrial bonding applications
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Countertop- Construction/ Building Services- Cabinet & Woodworking- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Marine- Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Sign & Display
Special and Unique Features
- Features a high-power 36:1 mechanical thrust ratio, capable of generating 500kgf (4.9kN) of force.- Offers 40% more power compared to most standard 26x thrust ratio manual dispensers.- Optimized for dispensing high-viscosity, thick formulas like MMA's, acrylic adhesives, and thick epoxies, even in colder environments.- Universally compatible with all 490ml (16.6oz) 10:1 ratio cartridges from leading brands (e.g., Integra, Corian).- Constructed with a hardened aluminum alloy handle and trigger for durability and a solid feel.- Equipped with hardened chrome-plated steel push plates and push rods to withstand high pressure.- Incorporates a side-load cartridge frame for quick and easy cartridge setup and swapping.- Features a powder-coated steel frame and catch plate, ensuring robust performance and durability on job sites.- Its balanced design helps reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use.
Key Properties
- Manual operation provides user control and portability.- High thrust ratio (36:1) ensures efficient and consistent dispensing of even the thickest adhesives.- Built with durable materials for professional-grade use and longevity in demanding environments.- Delivers smooth and consistent material flow, crucial for quality applications.- Designed to reduce material waste by enabling thorough emptying of cartridges.- Ergonomic design enhances user comfort and minimizes fatigue during extended dispensing tasks.
Surface Compatibility
The Maven MV490-36X dispenses various two-part adhesives (such as epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, silicone, polyester, and polyurea) that are compatible with a broad spectrum of surfaces, including:- Solid surface materials (e.g., Corian®, HI-MACS, Formica®, Staron®)- Quartz, granite, and natural stone- Wood and cabinetry materials- Concrete and masonry- Architectural panels and decorative surfaces (e.g., acrylics)- Various metals and plastics, commonly bonded with epoxies and MMA adhesives.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other manual 2-part adhesive dispensers with lower thrust ratios (e.g., 26:1).- Pneumatic 2-part adhesive dispensers for higher volume applications or automated production lines (e.g., MIXPAC DP2X, 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Dual Drive Manual Applicator).- Manual dispensers from alternative brands such as 3M, Chemique, B-Line, MIXPAC, and Albion.
Comparison Note
The Maven MV490-36X distinguishes itself with an exceptionally high 36:1 thrust ratio, providing significantly more power (40% greater than standard 26x guns) for effortlessly dispensing very high-viscosity adhesives. This superior power ensures consistent performance even in colder conditions, reduces user fatigue, and maximizes material usage by allowing complete cartridge emptying, offering a distinct advantage over less powerful manual alternatives.
