Simultaneous metering, mixing, and application in one step

Both adhesive components are metered and blended as they pass through the mixing nose, eliminating the need for manual preparation or separate mixing tools before applying to the substrate. Material is delivered thoroughly mixed and ready for immediate use at the nozzle tip.

Tapered tip for adjustable bead size and precise placement

The tapered outlet tip can be cut to the desired diameter, allowing operators to control bead width and target adhesive or repair compound precisely into joints, cracks, and narrow application areas without overfill or waste.

Used mixing nose seals the cartridge between applications

When dispensing is paused, leaving the used mixing nose in place on the cartridge allows the mixed material inside to cure and harden, forming a seal that protects the remaining adhesive from moisture and air exposure until the next application session.

Disposable design eliminates mixing tool cleanup

Mixing noses are designed to be replaced rather than cleaned, removing the time and materials required to clean mixing tools between jobs. Replacing with a fresh mixing nose and purging a short bead is all that is needed to resume application with correctly blended material.

Original 3M accessory engineered to exact applicator tolerances

Designed as an original 3M accessory for use with the 3M Scotch-Weld EPX applicator system and compatible caulk guns. Using original accessories ensures the metering accuracy and mixing consistency that the adhesive's performance specifications require.

Available in configurations for small-format and larger cartridges

Two variants are available to cover 50 mL small-format Duo-Pak cartridges and 250 mL larger-format repair cartridges at a 1:1 mix ratio, providing the right fit for different cartridge sizes and application volumes without requiring separate product families.

Off-ratio mixing reduces adhesive and repair compound performance

Two-component adhesives and repair compounds are formulated to perform at a specific mix ratio. A mixing nose that does not match the cartridge outlet geometry can allow one component to dominate, resulting in off-ratio material that cures poorly, bonds weakly, or fails under load. Using an original 3M mixing nose matched to the cartridge format prevents this.

Precise tip placement reduces waste and contamination in repair work

In concrete repair and joint filling, applying material accurately into a crack or joint without overfill reduces cleanup time, prevents contamination of adjacent surfaces, and makes better use of the adhesive or repair compound in the cartridge. The adjustable tapered tip on the mixing nose gives operators direct control over bead width at the point of application.

Sealing cartridges between uses preserves remaining material

Partially used cartridges of two-component adhesives and repair compounds are vulnerable to contamination if the outlet is left unsealed. Leaving the used mixing nose in place after dispensing creates a hardened seal that extends the usable life of the cartridge and reduces material waste between application sessions.

Mixing Nose for 50 mL Cartridges

For 50 mL Duo-Pak cartridges used with 3M EPX manual or pneumatic applicators

This variant is designed for use with 50 mL small-format Duo-Pak cartridges and is compatible with 3M EPX Plus II manual applicators and compatible pneumatic dispensers. Suited to precision bonding, small joint assembly, potting, and repair applications where lower adhesive volumes are dispensed per cycle. The tapered tip can be cut to control bead width for accurate material placement in confined areas or narrow joints.

Mixing Nose for 250 mL Cartridges, 1:1

For 8.4 oz (approximately 250 mL) 1:1 cartridges; designed for concrete repair and urethane compound applications

This variant is designed for use with 8.4 oz (approximately 250 mL) 1:1 ratio cartridges, specifically engineered for 3M concrete repair and urethane adhesive products dispensed using a standard caulk gun. It is well suited to joint filling, crack repair, and concrete maintenance applications where larger volumes of repair compound are applied per session. Supplied in bags of 3 nozzles, 12 bags per case.

Sealing Cartridges Between Uses

• After dispensing, leave the used mixing nose attached to the cartridge outlet.
• The mixed material inside the nose will cure and harden, sealing the outlet and protecting the remaining adhesive or repair compound from moisture and air contamination.
• When resuming use, remove the sealed mixing nose and replace with a new one. Dispense a short purge bead onto a waste surface before applying to the substrate to clear the cartridge inlet and prime the new mixing nose.
• Do not attempt to reuse a mixing nose that has been left on the cartridge as a seal. The cured material inside will not remix correctly.

General Handling and Storage

• Store unused mixing noses in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Inspect the mixing nose outlet before use to confirm the tip is clear and undamaged before attaching to the cartridge.
• Do not use mixing noses that have been dropped, deformed, or contaminated prior to use.
• Dispose of used mixing noses in accordance with applicable local regulations for adhesive and chemical waste.
