Product Name
Maven Small Manual Hand Plunger Accessories for 4:1 and 10:1 ratio 50ml, 45ml & 35ml cartridges
Brief Description
These Maven Small Manual Hand Plunger Accessories are designed for the precise, manual dispensing of two-part adhesives, sealants, epoxies, and other assembly fluids from small dual cartridges. They are compatible with 50ml, 45ml, and 35ml cartridges requiring 4:1 or 10:1 mix ratios. This plunger provides a cost-effective and portable solution for applications that do not necessitate a full dispensing gun, allowing users to apply materials by hand pressure directly to the cartridge pistons.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Controlled application of pastes, gels, adhesives, and other assembly fluids.- Small-scale bonding and sealing tasks.- Field repairs and maintenance where portability is key.- Prototyping and R&D in laboratory settings.- Dispensing two-component materials like epoxies, silicones, and urethanes.- Gasket sealant repair and general adhesive applications.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair for bonding and sealing.- Construction/Building Services for small repairs and sealing.- General Manufacturing for assembly and bonding tasks.- Metal and Plastic Fabrication for joining components.- Aerospace/Defense for maintenance and repair.- Electrical Services or Products for potting and sealing electronics.- Marine for boat repairs and sealing applications.- Cabinet & Woodworking and Furniture for specialized adhesive applications.- Prosumer and Artist/Artisan for advanced DIY and crafting with two-part resins.
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for 4:1 and 10:1 mix ratio cartridges.- Compatible with 50ml, 45ml, and 35ml cartridge sizes.- Manual operation, offering simplicity and portability.- Cost-effective alternative to full dispensing guns for occasional use.- Reduces waste by allowing direct hand pressure application.
Key Properties
- Material: Typically made from durable plastic or reinforced nylon for longevity.- Compatibility: Designed for specific cartridge sizes and mix ratios (4:1, 10:1).- Operation: Manual, requiring hand pressure for dispensing.- Portability: Small and lightweight, ideal for mobile or on-site work.
Surface Compatibility
The plunger itself does not directly contact the bonding surface. Its compatibility is determined by the adhesive or sealant being dispensed, which can be used on a wide range of materials including:- Metals- Plastics- Composites- Wood- Ceramics- Glass
Known backups / known substitutes
- Full manual dispensing guns (e.g., MixPac DMA50, Loctite manual applicators).- Pneumatic dispensing guns for higher volume or more consistent application.- Other brands of manual plungers designed for similar cartridge types and ratios.
Comparison Note
Unlike a full manual dispensing gun which provides a mechanical advantage and often a trigger mechanism for controlled flow, these hand plungers rely solely on direct hand pressure. This makes them highly portable and economical for very low-volume or intermittent use, but they may offer less precise control over bead size and consistency compared to a gun. They are ideal when a dispensing gun is not available or not justified for the task at hand.
