Processing & dosing technology.
The best material only works when it is correctly dosed, mixed, and cured. Cartridge, static mixer, dispensing device, and curing form a coordinated system for reproducible results.
Overview
Basics
Two-component adhesives and potting compounds only cure completely when they are dispensed in the correct ratio, mixed homogeneously, and cured properly. The double cartridge keeps the components separate, and the static mixer blends them without moving parts solely through the extrusion pressure. Manual and pneumatic tools apply the material, and for small quantities, syringe dispensing is available. Light-curing adhesives additionally require the correct light dose, often from a curing chamber. Cartridge, mixer, device, and ratio must be compatible; the technical data sheet is authoritative.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is the mixing ratio so important?
In 2K systems, both components react in a fixed ratio. If this ratio is incorrect, a portion remains uncrosslinked and curing is incomplete. The specification in the data sheet is decisive.
Helix or Quadro Static Mixer?
Helix mixers are proven all-rounders, while Quadro mixers often achieve mixing in a shorter length and save waste. The decisive factors are ratio, viscosity, and mixing quality; see the data sheet.
Hand or pneumatic dispensing?
Handheld devices are suitable for individual pieces and small series, while pneumatic devices are suitable for uniform dispensing at higher frequencies. For small, precisely reproducible quantities, syringe dispensing is recommended.
