Frequently Asked Questions About Twin Component Cartridge Gun – 2 x 200ml
Q: Can this gun be used with high-viscosity epoxy adhesives?
A: Yes, the hardened push rod and strong catch plate are engineered to handle high-viscosity materials such as two-part epoxies. It ensures steady, controlled output without surging.
Q: Is this compatible with 2:1 or 1:1 dual cartridges?
A: The gun is designed for standard 2 x 200ml dual cartridges. Always confirm your cartridge dimensions and mix ratio with your adhesive supplier to ensure compatibility.
Q: How do I maintain the gun for long-term use?
A: Clean the push rod and catch plate after each use. Apply light lubricant to metal components and store in a dry location to prevent corrosion or build-up of hardened material.
Q: Can this be used on vertical surfaces?
A: Yes. The ergonomic design, balanced weight, and smooth drive make it suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications where precision is critical.
Q: Is it suitable for use in cold weather?
A: While the gun functions in most site conditions, adhesives may become more viscous in cold weather. Pre-warming the cartridge slightly can assist with flow. The gun itself performs reliably across typical Australian site conditions.

Applying Twin Component Cartridge Gun – 2 x 200ml: Protocols & Best Practices
General Application Steps:- Preparation: Inspect gun for cleanliness. Insert the 2 x 200ml cartridges securely and ensure the plunger aligns with both chambers.
- Application: Attach static mixing nozzle. Squeeze trigger evenly to begin dispensing. Ensure smooth and continuous pressure for consistent mix and flow.
- Tooling & Finishing: Allow adhesive to self-level or use appropriate tooling while material is workable. Follow adhesive-specific working time.
- Curing: Allow adhesive to cure as per product datasheet. Avoid disturbing bonded materials during initial set time.
For Builders: Structural Joint Bonding in Facades
The Engineering Challenge: Ensuring controlled, bubble-free adhesive application on vertical joints using high-viscosity epoxies.
The System-Based Solution with Twin Component Cartridge Gun: Provides smooth, balanced extrusion and eliminates surging during application, ensuring structural bond integrity even on vertical installs.
Best Practice Note: Pre-purge the nozzle before beginning the joint run. Apply pressure evenly to maintain mix ratio accuracy.
For Glaziers: Installing Structural Silicone in Framed Curtain Walls
The Engineering Challenge: Achieving consistent silicone delivery without disrupting alignment or contaminating frames.
The System-Based Solution with Twin Component Cartridge Gun: Offers precise control, helping achieve neat finishes and strong adhesion without excess squeeze-out.
Best Practice Note: Always use a fresh static mixer for each session. Store the tool in a cradle between uses to maintain nozzle angle integrity.
Limitations & Safety
Product limitations and safety information
Limitations:
- Not compatible with single-component cartridges or non-standard cartridge sizes.
- Should not be used with incompatible cartridge geometries (e.g., dissimilar lengths).
- Requires periodic cleaning to avoid hardened material causing wear on internal parts.
Safety & Handling:
- PPE: Wear gloves and safety glasses during adhesive application.
- Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area when applying chemical adhesives.
- Handling: Do not force plunger under load. Always depressurise before storing.
- First Aid: In case of adhesive exposure to skin or eyes, follow first aid protocols provided by the adhesive supplier.
