Glue is a widely used adhesive, and there are different types to suit every purpose. Aside from choosing the correct adhesive, you also need to pay attention to the formulation. Using two-component structural glue mixed in a specific ratio can make it better and make structural glue stick to larger load-bearing objects. Static mixing nozzles can help you achieve that. Here, you’ll learn some essential information about them to help you make informed choices for your application.
How are they different from standard mixing nozzles?
Standard static mixers are the oldest technologies for two-part adhesive dispensing. Their round nozzles have different connection types, and they typically need longer nozzles and additional mixing elements. Newer static mixing nozzles have better construction and parts to prevent wasting adhesive and leftover glue. Moreover, it allows users to dispense much closer to the substrates.
How are they used?
Two-part adhesives like silicons, urethanes, MMAs, and epoxies need plastic static mixing nozzles to effectively mix and dispense the A and B sides. Both materials will go into the static mixer to run through elements, a series of chambers that mix the two sides and activate curing. The nozzles can bring savings and boost productivity when manually mixing and dispensing two-part adhesives.
Benefits of using a static mixing nozzle
Injection molding processes rely on a static mixing nozzle for low-pressure drop and high mixing efficiency. The nozzles are made of durable hybrid components, which are resistant to corrosion and applicable to many industrial purposes.
A static mixing nozzle can provide many advantages, such as the following:
Reduced costs for raw materialsMinimize defectsImprove the dimensional accuracy of productsReduce the molding cycleBetter quality when producing products from recycled materials
Types
Static mixing nozzles come in two different sizes as determined by their bell-mouth. You’ll also find bayonet and twist-lock types. Static mixing tubes have an interface that resembles a spiral-type or bayonet form. Thus, the liquid glue can be sheared, cut, rotated, and remixed several times after coming out of rubber hose A and rubber hose B; and flowing through the mixing tube. Then, the glue can be divided into smaller parts.
