Product Name
Mixpac 400ml C-System 4:1 Ratio (Standard Bell Outlet) Empty 2-Part Cartridge & Pistons - AC 400-04-10-01 (112530)
Brief Description
This is an industrial-grade, empty 400ml side-by-side cartridge system designed for the precise packaging and dispensing of two-component (2K) adhesives, sealants, resins, and other reactive materials with a 4:1 mixing ratio. It includes self-venting lip seal pistons and a preassembled nose plug, and is compatible with standard 400ml manual or pneumatic dispensing guns and bell-mouth static mixer nozzles.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Chemical anchoring in construction.- Crack repair in various materials like epoxy, cement, stone, swimming pools, pipes, floors, stoneware, bricks, and metal.- Installation and finishing of solid surfaces (e.g., countertops, bathrooms, kitchens).- Fully bonded roofing applications.- Bonding, sealing, potting, and gap filling in general manufacturing.- Electronic potting and encapsulation.- Resin injection processes.- Dispensing thermally conductive pastes.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Construction/ Building Services- General Manufacturing- Automotive Service/Repair- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle- Aerospace/Defense- LED/Electronics- Chemical Industry- Distributers & Resellers- Mold Making/ Casting
Special and Unique Features
- Rigid design for precise metering and accurate application, ensuring excellent long-term stability.- Valve pistons enable safe and fast filling without air pockets.- Leakproof tested for safe storage and application of 2-component materials up to +40 °C.- Compatible with QUADRO™ mixing technology for excellent mixing performance with minimal pressure loss and high dispensing performance.- Standard bell outlet for quick and easy installation of compatible C-style static mixer nozzles.- Industrial grade and silicone-free.- Rated up to 100 psi sustained pressure.- Can be easily sealed and stored for further use without the material curing, allowing for partial use.
Key Properties
- Volume: 400ml (nominal)- Mixing Ratio: 4:1- Cartridge Type: Side-by-side, 2-part (dual-component)- Material: PP (Polypropylene) natural.- Outlet Type: Standard Bell Outlet (for bell mount static mixer nozzles)- Pistons: Self-venting lip seal pistons included.- Pressure Rating: Industrial grade, safe to 100 psi.- Storage Temperature: Safe storage up to +40 °C.
Surface Compatibility
The cartridge itself is a container, so its compatibility is with the chemical materials it holds. The adhesives/sealants dispensed from it are compatible with a wide range of surfaces depending on their specific chemistry, including:- Concrete, stone, brick- Metal- Wood- Plastics- Composite surfaces (e.g., countertops)- Roofing materials
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Mixpac C-System cartridges with different ratios (e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 10:1) or volumes (e.g., 200ml) if the application allows for a different ratio or volume.- Mixpac F-System cartridges, which are also 400ml and compatible with some of the same dispensers.- Other 2-component cartridge systems from brands like Nordson TAH, Techon Systems, Jensen Global, or other manufacturers offering side-by-side cartridges with similar volumes and ratios.- Bulk adhesive dispensing systems (meter-mix equipment) for very high-volume, stationary applications, though these are typically more expensive and less portable.- Manual mixing from pails, cans, or tubs, though this is less precise, more wasteful, and labor-intensive.
Comparison Note
The Mixpac C-System cartridges are a widely recognized industry standard for two-component adhesive and sealant dispensing, offering a balance of precision, reliability, and ease of use for a broad range of professional and industrial applications. Compared to manual mixing, they provide significantly improved accuracy, consistency, reduced waste, and enhanced safety. While bulk meter-mix equipment offers high-volume automation, the C-System cartridges provide a more flexible, portable, and cost-effective solution for low to medium-volume applications or remote job sites. The 4:1 ratio is suitable for specific chemistries requiring this precise proportion of components.
