Mixing made easyAdhesive Packaging Specialties offers on-demand mixing and dispensing systems for two-component reactive adhesives, sealants, and resins. Included in the system are dual cartridges, dispensing gun, and static mixer. The dual cartridges isolate the two components until needed. The static mixer, a narrow cylinder tube that contains the mixing elements, forces the materials to combine. The gun applies pressure via a plunger to the contents of the dual cartridges.
