What are the typical fluids I can dispense?

There are not many materials that cannot be dispensed in one form or another. Please call us if you would like advice but our experience has been to supply systems for accurately handling adhesives, cyanoacrylates, anaerobics, solvents, chemical, sealants, silicones, epoxies, resins, pastes, solders, fluxes, hotmelts, PVA's, UV cure, conformal coatings, primers, activators, water based, contact type, braze and conductive.

What is the best system for cyanoacrylates?

The TS255 dispenser will apply all CAs direct from syringe barrels up to 55cc size. Use the TS5622VU with a pressure pot and TS350 controller for higher volume deposits of CA's.  Use CTLL or Teflon Lined tips for zero clogging.

Do you supply adhesives and other chemicals?

Many of our customers ask us to provide them with materials .

How do your prices compare to others?

We are the only UK company to offer such a wide range of dispensing, chemical and packaging options online. We don't hide our prices and you can order items on account from us online. Our pricing is very competitive but if you notice something about a product that is overpriced, please tell us and we'll do something about it.

How long are lead times?

Most barrels, cartridges, needles, nozzles, fittings and dispensers are available from stock. We also stock a wide range of guns, valves, tanks, fluid lines and accessories. Some items take longer. Some valves up to 5 days. Robots are built to order and we always quote 4-5 weeks. Some filled syringes and cartridges can take up to 5 weeks if we are waiting on the materials.

What does silicone free mean?

When a company does not offer silicone free barrels, cartridges, nozzles and tips - it might mean that cheaper low grade products are being supplied instead. Some of these will have been manufactured in production facilities where silicone release lubricants find their way into the plastics. So when you fill with certain adhesives, it can affect the performance.

What does industrial grade mean?

All syringe barrels, cartridges, tips, nozzles, etc are safe for 'industrial' use up to 100 psi.

Can I re-use barrels, etc?

In short, yes you can. But re-use will weaken them and could be unsafe. Also, cured adhesive can mix with fresh material causing failures. And if time is spent cleaning components, it is much cheaper to dispose of and replace with new. If you are paying too much for these components, talk to us and we'll offer cost effective pricing.
