This article reviews the technical design and benefits of the use of a two-component packaging system designed to deliver product with a standard caulking gun. This package is expected to provide the adhesives and sealants industry with a lower cost, lower waste two-component delivery system.
The adhesives and sealants industry is a technically mature market. Companies are continuously investing in new technologies to differentiate their product lines. As formulations and product line offerings become generic, an area that has become increasingly interesting is adhesives and sealants delivery systems.
Currently, some pump systems are used to dispense fast-curing systems. These pumps are relatively expensive and require continuous maintenance. If these pump systems break down, then the project or process is not delivering product. These pumps, or hand mixing of plural-component systems, may result in a high percentage of material waste.
This article reviews the technical design and benefits of the use of a unique two-component packaging system designed to deliver product with a standard caulking gun. This package will provide the adhesives and sealants industry with a lower cost, lower waste, safe two-component delivery system.
