Product Name

MedMix MCQ-08-24T - Quadro Square 24-element Low-Waste Bell-Style - for 200ml, 400ml, 600ml, 1500ml 2-Part cartridges

Brief Description

The MedMix MCQ-08-24T is a universal, disposable static mixing nozzle (tip) engineered for the efficient and homogeneous blending of two-component (2-part) adhesives, sealants, coatings, and foams. It features a Quadro (square) mixing element design with 24 elements and a bell-style (C-type cup) connection, ensuring compatibility with standard 200ml, 400ml, 600ml, and 1500ml cartridges at common 1:1 and 2:1 mix ratios. Its low-waste design and stepped tip facilitate precise application and adjustable bead width.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Dispensing structural adhesives and sealants.- Linear bead application along edges, profiles, panels, and structural parts.- Bonding, sealing, potting, and encapsulating applications.- Repair and manufacturing tasks, including panel bonding adhesive, filler, structural epoxy, plastic repair epoxy, glass adhesive, foam, fiberglass repair material, and sound/vibration dampening material.- Used with a variety of materials such as epoxy, silicone, urethane, acrylic, and polyester.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Aerospace/Defense- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- Construction/ Building Services- Concrete- Energy (e.g., wind turbine assembly and repair)- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Metal Fabrication- Plastic Fabrication- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle

Special and Unique Features

- Quadro Square 24-element design provides efficient and homogeneous mixing within a compact length.- Low-waste design minimizes material loss during dispensing.- Bell-style (C-type cup) connection allows for quick and easy installation onto compatible cartridges.- Stepped outlet tip can be trimmed to adjust the dispensed bead width and flow rate.- Disposable, single-use nature eliminates the need for cleaning and reduces the risk of adhesive contamination.- Compatible with both 1:1 and 2:1 mix ratios of two-part materials.- Suitable for medium and thin viscosity materials, up to 80,000 cP.

Key Properties

- Inner Diameter: 8.7mm (0.343 inch)- Outer Diameter: 10.5mm (0.41 inch)- Length: Approximately 147mm (5.8 inches)- Number of Elements: 24- Mixer Geometry: Quadro (Square)- Connection Type: Bell-style (C-type cup connection)- Material: Polypropylene housing and elements.- Maximum Pressure: 100 PSI (industrial grade)- Volume in Nozzle: 8.44ml

Surface Compatibility

The mixer itself is designed for use with various two-part chemical compounds. Compatibility with specific surfaces depends on the adhesive or sealant being dispensed. It is generally used with: - Epoxy- Silicone- Urethane (Polyurethane)- Acrylic (Methacrylate)- Polyester- Foams- Other two-part reactive materials.

Known backups / known substitutes

- Other MedMix (Sulzer Mixpac) static mixers with similar specifications, such as those with different element counts or helical geometries, provided they are compatible with the cartridge system.- Static mixers from alternative brands like Nordson EFD (TAH), Statomix, or Infinity Bond, ensuring they have compatible inlet types (bell housing, integral nut, or bayonet for smaller cartridges) and suitable element count/geometry for the material's viscosity and mix ratio.- For applications currently using a helical mixer like the Medmix MCH 08-24T, the MCQ 08-24T can serve as a substitute, and vice-versa, if the application requirements permit.- Dynamic mixers may be considered for applications demanding very high mixing quality, rheologically challenging materials, or components with significantly different viscosities or high mixing ratios, although these are typically more complex and often integrated with meter-mix machines.

Comparison Note

The MedMix MCQ-08-24T distinguishes itself with its Quadro (square) mixing element design, which is recognized for delivering efficient mixing in a shorter length and with a lower pressure drop compared to traditional helical designs. This design is particularly advantageous for manual dispensing applications and contributes to reduced material waste. Its bell-style connection represents an industry standard for larger 2-part cartridges, ensuring broad compatibility across various dispensing systems.
