Precision Solvent-Resistant Pipette With Dosing Tip For Adhesive Application (ACRIFIX® 1S 0117 & Similar)

German technical distributor Serrox Technischer Handel has introduced a new line of solvent-resistant pipettes designed specifically for the precise dosing of solvent-based adhesives, particularly for bonding acrylic glass (Plexiglas). The innovative pipettes, available in both standard and extended lengths, are engineered to address the unique challenges of working with solvent adhesives such as ACRIFIX® 1S 0117, a widely used product in industries requiring high-precision bonding of acrylic materials.

The new pipettes feature a flexible, bendable plastic construction that eliminates the risk of breakage or injury from shards, a common hazard with traditional glass pipettes. Their design includes an extra-long shaft (up to 285 mm) for accessing hard-to-reach bonding areas, a conical seating for the dosing tip to prevent air ingress, and an elastic bellows system for highly accurate adhesive application. Two interchangeable dosing tips—one super-thin for minimal application and another for higher flow rates—further enhance versatility, and precision.

Key Features and Advantages

The pipettes are specifically formulated to resist solvents, ensuring durability and consistent performance even in demanding environments. Their ergonomic design reduces the risk of accidents, while the ability to retract excess adhesive back into the pipette minimizes waste and improves efficiency. According to Serrox, these pipettes are ideal for professionals working with acrylic glass, where precise adhesive application is critical for achieving strong, clean, and visually flawless bonds.

Broader Applications and Industry Impact

Serrox’s product line extends beyond pipettes to include a comprehensive range of tools for mixing, dosing, and curing adhesives. This includes specialized syringes for fine dosing, stainless steel stirrers for bubble-free mixing of two-component adhesives, and precision swabs for removing excess adhesive. The company’s offerings are tailored to meet the needs of manufacturers, craftsmen, and laboratories involved in the processing, shaping, and surface treatment of acrylic glass and other materials.

Solvent-based adhesives like ACRIFIX® are essential in applications requiring high bond strength and optical clarity, such as in the production of signage, automotive components, and architectural elements. The introduction of these new pipettes reflects the growing demand for safer, more efficient, and more precise bonding solutions in these industries.

Market and Safety Considerations

Serrox’s focus on safety and precision aligns with broader industry trends toward reducing workplace hazards and improving product quality. The elimination of glass components and the inclusion of features like truncated needle tips and extended reach options underscore the company’s commitment to enhancing user safety and operational efficiency. By offering customizable dosing solutions, Serrox positions itself as a key supplier for businesses requiring specialized adhesive handling equipment.

The new pipettes are available in various lengths and with different dosing tips, allowing customers to select the configuration best suited to their specific application requirements. Serrox Technischer Handel, based in Ober-Ramstadt, Germany, continues to expand its portfolio of technical solutions for adhesive bonding, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for professionals in the acrylic processing sector.
