Mixing nozzles
When using two-component adhesives, the adhesive consists of two components which need to be mixed in the correct proportions. The mixing of the two components takes place in the mixing nozzle. The mixing in the nozzle causes a chemical reaction which causes the adhesive to harden. As a result, the two bonded parts remain strongly adhered to each other.
