Graco MD2 Standard Dispense Valve Overview
The Graco MD2 Standard Dispense Valve accurately dispenses and mixes two-component sealants and adhesives, ensuring clean and controlled application. Available in 1:1 and 10:1 ratios, it features multiple seat styles and adjustable snuff-back options to optimize dispensing performance. Designed for high-pressure applications, it minimizes maintenance time and costs while maximizing uptime and material compatibility. The modular design allows for easy adaptation to different installation needs, with fewer parts for streamlined maintenance and service—no unique tools required.
For applications handling abrasive thermal interface materials, silicones, urethanes, and epoxies, consider the Graco MD2 Elite Dispense Valves for enhanced wear resistance and extended durability.
MD2 Standard Dispense Valve Options
- Ratio (1:1 or 10:1): Choose 1:1 for equal mixing or 10:1 for high-ratio adhesives.
- Seat Type (Soft or Hard): Soft seats provide better shut-off and reduced dripping, ideal for low-viscosity materials. Hard seats are durable and better for high-pressure or abrasive applications.
- Snuff-Back Type (Adjustable or Non-Adjustable): Adjustable snuff-back fine-tunes material retraction for cleaner dispensing, while non-adjustable offers consistent performance with minimal setup.
