Product Name
MKH Mixing Nozzles for MixPac K-System Small Syringes - 1:1 or 2:1 ratio (MKH 03-12D, MKH 03-12S, MKH 03-16S, MKH 02-12S, MKH 02-16S)
Brief Description
These are static mixing nozzles specifically engineered for the precise and homogeneous blending of two-component materials, such as adhesives, sealants, and potting compounds. They are designed for use with MixPac K-System small dual syringes, which typically come in 2.5ml, 3ml, 5ml, and 10ml sizes, supporting 1:1 or 2:1 mixing ratios. The nozzles feature a helix internal design and a K-series connection, ensuring a secure, leak-free, and efficient application of reactive materials without the need for moving parts.

Surface Compatibility
The MKH Mixing Nozzles themselves are made of polypropylene, which is compatible with a wide range of chemical formulations. The compatibility primarily refers to the two-component materials dispensed through them, which include:- Epoxy resins- Silicones- Polyurethanes- Methyl Methacrylates (MMAs)- Potting compounds- Various industrial sealants- Acrylics
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other brands or series of static mixer nozzles designed for two-component materials, though specific compatibility with the MixPac K-System small syringes may vary (e.g., other Sulzer Mixpac systems like A, B, C, F for larger cartridges).- Manual mixing of two-part adhesives, which typically results in less precise ratios, inconsistent curing, higher material waste, and increased labor time.- Dynamic mixers, which are generally used for higher viscosity materials or larger volume machine dispensing applications, and involve moving parts.
Comparison Note
MKH Mixing Nozzles for MixPac K-System offer a significant advantage over manual mixing by ensuring consistent, homogeneous, and precise blending of two-component materials, which is critical for achieving optimal adhesive performance and cure properties. Their dedicated K-System connection provides a secure and leak-free interface, specifically optimized for small-volume, high-precision applications. While various static mixers exist, the MKH series is tailored to the unique small syringe format and specific mix ratios of the MixPac K-System, providing an integrated solution for these particular dispensing requirements.
