The tips are small plastic elements that connect to your mixing nozzles. They are used to control the flow rate at the nozzle outlet.
Tips ensure the fluid products can flow smoothly without creating air bubbles.
If you want an intermediate flow, you can cut the tip cleanly, but this technique is not recommended.
Their angled shape allows them to reach difficult areas during the impression taking process. You can also use the tip to gently move the product inside the part while it is still liquid, ensuring it fills all the space for optimal precision.
However, be cautious of air bubbles, as mixing too vigorously can create bubbles and alter the final result.
Unlike nozzles, which can be used only once, tips can be reused.
To reuse a tip, gently remove it from its injector. The polymerized product inside should release the tip without damaging it.
Tips are essential accessories for successful impression taking. They are included in all Plastiform cases and available cartridge packages. You can also purchase them individually.
Tips are only recommended for use with fluid products and can only be mounted on Standard Nozzles.
To use a tip, simply clip it onto the end of the standard nozzle by pushing it until it locks in place. Both accessories are specially designed to fit together. Ensure the tip is mounted on the nozzle before attaching the injector to the cartridge.
Once set, you can use the applicator gun as usual.
If you need to increase the flow, you can cut the tip cleanly, although this technique is not recommended.
After the product has polymerized inside the tip, simply pull it straight to extract the hardened product. Tips are reusable once the polymerized product is removed.
Looking for a complete kit to try plastiform?
The case contains all required accessories to use Plastiform. It is the best way to try our solutions for the first time!
The nozzle should be attached at the end of the cartridge, ensures that the two components of the plastiform mix homogeneously before application. It is a consumable item and must be replaced after each use. The tip, which is fitted at the end of the nozzle, reduces the flow rate. This is particularly recommended for fluid plastiforms to achieve optimal application accuracy, especially in fine details. The tip is reusable and can be cut to increase the flow if needed.
How to clean the injection material after taking the impression ?
You don't need to clean the material. The nozzle is going to trash and the tip is reusable after extracting the polymerized material inside it.
How to ensure that the products are properly mixed at the outlet of the mixing injector? Or during manual mixing?
At the end of the injector, or after manual mixing, the product must be well mixed to ensure uniform polymerization. If the mixture appears marbled, indicating that it is not homogeneous, set aside the non-homogeneous part until the mixture is correct. Once the mixture is homogeneous, you can proceed with the impression.
Which application gun should we choose?
The choice of the application material depends on the cartridge size. For 50mL cartridges, there are two options: the manual DM-50 gun or the pneumatic DP-50 gun. The main difference lies in ease of use; the DP-50 is less cumbersome for users who take repeated impressions. For 400mL cartridges, the options are the manual DS-400 or the pneumatic DP-400 guns. Additionally, there is the DB-400, a battery-operated gun.
Which product should I use to control dimensions of my part?
Every application and every part are different. This is why we developed the Plastiform Finder, which can help you find the right product after asking you some questions about the context. Use it or contact us to find the best product !
Are there any materials to which plastiforms cannot be applied?
It is possible to apply our products to any type of material and its alloys (including gold, silver, titanium). They can also be used on plastic materials, wood, resins, etc. However, certain silicone-based materials should be avoided, as they can sometimes alter the polymerization of the products. We always recommend a test before use.
What is the smallest diameter at which these products can be effectively used?
For very small diameters (< 5mm), it's best to use a liquid product and make a full impression. However, there is no minimum diameter. Use needle nozzles if you need more precision when pouring the product.
