Twin Component Cartridge Gun – 2 x 200ml is a professional manual applicator designed for the precise dispensing of high-viscosity two-part epoxies and structural sealants on industrial job sites. This tool incorporates an ergonomic aluminium-alloy handle and a patented catch plate system that eliminates material surging and backflow, ensuring consistent mix ratios and cleaner finishes.
By using a hardened steel push rod, it maintains structural bond integrity in high-stakes vertical facade joints without the risk of mechanical seizure or component bending common in lighter-duty equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Can this gun handle high-viscosity epoxy adhesives?
Yes, this gun is built for high-viscosity materials. Its hardened push rod and strong catch plate are engineered to manage two-part epoxies, ensuring consistent, surge-free output.
Which cartridge sizes are compatible with this gun?
This gun is designed for standard 2 x 200ml dual component cartridges. Confirm your adhesive cartridge dimensions and mix ratio with your supplier before use to ensure a correct fit.
How should I maintain this cartridge gun?
Clean the push rod and catch plate immediately after each use. Apply a light lubricant to metal components periodically and store the gun in a dry place to prevent corrosion and material build-up.
Is this gun suitable for vertical adhesive applications?
Yes, the gun's balanced design and smooth drive system make it effective for vertical applications. It allows for controlled and precise extrusion of adhesives on walls or overhead surfaces.

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.
Product limitations
- Not for: Single-component cartridges or non-standard cartridge sizes. This gun is specifically configured for 2 x 200ml dual-component cartridges.
- Not for: Cartridges with incompatible geometries, such as dissimilar lengths or non-standard diameters.
- Requires periodic cleaning to prevent hardened adhesive from causing wear on internal components and affecting dispensing performance.
Safety and handling
Personal protective equipment
Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during adhesive application. Refer to the adhesive's SDS for specific PPE requirements.
Ventilation
Use in a well-ventilated area when applying chemical adhesives. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines for ventilation.
First aid
- Adhesive exposure: In case of adhesive contact with skin or eyes, follow the first aid protocols provided by the adhesive supplier. The gun itself presents no chemical hazard.
Storage and disposal
Store the gun in a dry location, free from dust and hardened material. Depressurise the gun before storage. Dispose of residual adhesive and cartridges according to local regulations and the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Substrate guide
This dispensing tool facilitates application. Substrate preparation is critical for adhesive performance and must follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines, not the tool itself.
Metal substrates
Surface prep: Ensure adhesive cartridges are loaded correctly and mixed via an approved static mixer nozzle. Prep for the metal substrate is determined by the adhesive specification.
Primer: As per the two-part adhesive specification being dispensed. The tool itself does not require priming.
Concrete and masonry
Surface prep: Prepare surfaces according to the specific adhesive guidelines. This tool's function is purely dispensing, not surface preparation.
Primer: As per the two-part adhesive specification being dispensed. The tool itself does not require priming.
Plastics and composites
Surface prep: Use with compatible two-part adhesive systems. Surface preparation methods must adhere to chemical bonding guidelines relevant to the specific plastic or composite.
Primer: As per the two-part adhesive system requirements. The tool itself does not require priming.
