The Loctite brand manual cartridge applicator is designed for use with sealants and adhesives packaged in 300 mL cartridges. The mechanical advantage of a 26:1 thrust ratio allows for easy application of medium to high viscosity materials. This professional quality, high thrust applicator is made especially for materials that may be difficult to extrude. This industrial grade applicator has a revolving barrel frame that rotates to allow for easy application of materials around corners. The one-piece sintered friction catch plate has extra durability and higher precision when compared to competitor's models that have a two-piece friction plate with plastic inserts.
