Testing and experimentation is a reliable path for choosing the right static mixer for a two-component adhesive.
Choosing a static mixer to mix and dispense two-component adhesives requires more than reading a sales catalog and selecting a part number. Adhesive manufacturers and end users both should investigate many variables.
A static mixer, which is sometimes called a motionless mixer, is a simple device with no moving parts. It consists of internal baffles or elements inside a plastic tube. However, this seemingly elementary device can effectively mix two flowable liquids. As adhesive components are forced through the mixer, they are repeatedly divided and recombined, creating a uniform mixture.
