3M 38195 Static Mixing Nozzle, 50mL, 12 Nozzles/Bag
Consistent Professional Mixing – 3M Static Mixing Nozzle (38195, 12-Pack)
Professional-Grade Mixing Tips for Two-Part Adhesives
Stop worrying about adhesive mix quality. These 3M static mixing nozzles deliver consistently mixed two-part adhesive with every application, help eliminate manual mixing mess, and can act as temporary caps to help preserve cartridge contents between uses. Built specifically for 50 mL cartridges, they eliminate the guesswork and reduce mess from manual mixing while ensuring professional results on every job, with storage duration depending on your specific adhesive and conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Precision-Engineered for 3M Systems | Unlike generic mixing tips, these nozzles feature internal geometry specifically tuned to 3M 50 mL cartridge flow rates and viscosities. Mix ratio is set by the cartridge; check the adhesive TDS for the recommended tip to ensure proper mixing and optimal performance. |
| Consistent Professional Mixing | Internal spiral chambers blend resin and hardener as materials flow through, delivering uniform mixing from first squeeze to last drop based on your cartridge's dispensing ratio. This helps prevent weak joints and reduces rework while ensuring bonds meet manufacturer specifications for strength and durability when properly applied. |
| Zero Cleanup Between Jobs | Disposable design means you simply twist on a fresh nozzle for each project, eliminating the need to scrape hardened adhesive from mixing tools or wait for cleanup between applications. This saves valuable time and reduces contamination risk in multi-component systems while maintaining consistent application quality throughout your workday. |
| Doubles as Storage Cap | Leave the nozzle attached when finished working and the material inside hardens to create a seal, preserving your cartridge contents between uses with duration varying by adhesive type and storage conditions. This dual functionality eliminates the need for separate caps and reduces material loss between jobs while protecting cartridge contents from contamination. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to generic mixing tips?
Unlike universal mixing tips, the 3M 38195 is engineered for 3M's specific 50 mL cartridge systems. The internal geometry ensures optimized flow rates and thorough material mixing, even in cold conditions. Generic tips may create back-pressure or incomplete mixing that can compromise bond strength.
Can I reuse these mixing nozzles?
These are designed as disposable, single-use nozzles. The material hardens inside after use, making cleaning impractical. The convenience and time savings of using a fresh nozzle for each job far outweigh the minimal cost per unit.
What's the shelf life once I open the package?
The plastic nozzles themselves don't expire. Store them in a clean, dry environment and they'll remain ready for use indefinitely. The key is keeping them dust-free and protecting the connection area.
Will these work with other brand cartridges?
These nozzles are specifically designed for 3M 50 mL cartridge systems. While some other brands may have similar threading, we recommend using manufacturer-matched components to ensure proper fit, flow rates, and mixing performance.
How long can I store a cartridge with the nozzle as a cap?
Storage duration varies significantly by adhesive type and storage conditions. Some adhesives may preserve for days while others last weeks. Always consult your specific adhesive's technical data sheet for recommended storage times and methods to ensure material remains usable.
