The 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ Applicator system (Exact Proportioning Mixer) is an industry-leading solution designed to meter, mix, and dispense two-component structural adhesives. Utilizing advanced Duo-Pak (DP) cartridges, this system ensures accurate measurement and thorough mixing without the need for manual weighing or hand mixing, significantly minimizing material waste and mess.
Whether for low-volume assembly or high-capacity manufacturing lines, choosing the correct EPX applicator and static mixing nozzle guarantees optimal adhesive performance and clean, uniform application.
Key Components: Applicators, Plungers, and Nozzles
To achieve a perfect bond, the 3M EPX system relies on three synchronized parts working together:
EPX Applicators (Manual and Pneumatic)
Plungers and Conversion Kits
Static Mixing Nozzles
