Using Adhesives Packaged in Premixed & Frozen Syringes

Dispensing material from premixed and frozen syringe Testing and finding optimal thaw time

  1. Remove one syringe from the freezer to determine the optimal thaw time based on your specific application needs
  2. Assemble the syringe for use including screwing on the dispensing tip and inserting the manual plunger
  3. After waiting for a few minutes to allow the material to thaw, attempt to dispense the material
  4. If the material is still frozen, wait another minute and try again
  5. Continue this process, testing every minute, until the material reaches optimal flowability for your application
  6. Note the exact thaw time for future reference

Factors to Consider When Determining Thaw Time

  • Environmental conditions, including the temperature of your production facility
  • Viscosity requirements for your application
  • Quantity of material being used (larger quantities take longer to thaw)
