Dual Cartridge
What is a Dual Cartridge?
A dual cartridge, also known as side-by-side cartridge, is a packaging system for 2-component adhesives that contains both components separately in a common housing. Side-by-side cartridges enable precise dispensing and exact mixing of resin and hardener in the correct mixing ratio directly before application.
Properties of Side-by-Side Cartridges
- Separate storage of components until application
- Defined mixing ratios (e.g. 1:1, 2:1, 10:1)
- Extended shelf life through separate components
- Easy handling without additional weighing
- Reduced mixing errors through mechanical systems
- Various volumes from 25ml to 490ml
Applications
- Structural bonding: Metal and plastic connections
- Automotive Potting Compound: Electronics protection in vehicles
- Repair applications: Fast and reliable repairs
- Prototype construction: Flexible small quantity processing
Mixing Systems
- Static mixers: Passive mixing through mixing elements
- Dispensing Valves: Automated systems for series production
- Hand dispensers: Manual application with lever guns
- Pneumatic systems: For continuous applications
Advantages Over Individual Components
- Constant mixing ratios
- Reduced waste through exact dispensing
- Shorter setup times in production
- Lower contamination risk
- Easier storage and handling
