Key Properties
- **Material:** Polypropylene (PP) for chemical resistance.- **Volume:** 200ml total capacity.- **Mix Ratio:** 10:1 by volume, specifically designed for formulations requiring this ratio.- **Type:** Two-part (dual-component), side-by-side cartridge system.- **Compatibility:** Fully compatible with MixPac F-System mixing tips and dispensers.- **Durability:** Manufactured from high-quality, chemical-resistant plastics to meet stringent shelf-life stability and metering requirements.
Surface Compatibility
These empty cartridges are designed to be compatible with a wide range of two-part chemical formulations, including epoxies, silicones, urethanes, acrylics, and other reactive compounds, due to their polypropylene (PP) construction. The chemical resistance of PP ensures the integrity of the stored materials.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Other MixPac Systems:** MixPac offers various systems like A-System, B-System, C-System, K-System, and Blueline System, which cater to different volumes, ratios, and material viscosities.- **Different F-System Ratios/Volumes:** Other F-System cartridges are available in different volumes (e.g., 400ml) and mix ratios (e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 4:1).- **Alternative Brands:** Other manufacturers produce two-part empty cartridges, such as Maven, Nordson EFD, Sulzer ecopaCC™, Nordson Film-Pak®, and Ritter CiC Systems, offering various designs and capacities.
Comparison Note
The MixPac F-System is recognized as an industrial standard for two-component dispensing, offering a robust and reliable solution for professionals. Its design ensures precise dosing, homogeneous mixing (when used with appropriate static mixers), and fatigue-free dispensing. Key advantages include preventing cross-contamination of components before mixing and providing high long-term stability for the filled compounds, making it a preferred choice for critical applications requiring accuracy and efficiency.
