Optimum Tips
Optimum Angled Tips
Optimum® angled stainless steel tips with SafetyLok™ hubs are available in 45° and 90° bends. They deliver accurate, repeatable fluid dispensing in challenging applications.
Optimum Chamfered Tips
Perfect for micro-deposit applications of low-viscosity fluids, Optimum® chamfered tips are designed with a special outer diameter taper that prevents wicking for greater deposit accuracy.
Options:
- 38.1mm/1.5": Pink (20 ga), Blue (22 ga)
- 12.7 mm / 0.50": Green (18 ga), Orange (23 ga), Red (25 ga)
- 6.35 mm / 0.25": Clear (27 ga), Clear (33 ga), Black (33 ga)
Optimum Flexible Tips
Optimum® flexible dispensing tips provide accurate, repeatable deposits in areas that are normally too difficult to reach.
Designed with unique, inert polypropylene tubing, these tips flex along edges and around corners for painting and solvent bonding and easy dispensing in hard-to-reach areas. Special flexible tubing prevents scratching or puncturing and can be easily angled or cut to length. Ideal for wiping over a surface where you need to spread a fluid, the cannula also resists clogging to provide the most repeatable, accurate fluid deposits.
Options:
- 12.7 mm / 0.50" & 38.1 mm / 1.5" - Amber (15 ga), Green (18 ga), Pink (20 ga), Red (25 ga)
Optimum PTFE-coated Tips
Optimum® PTFE-coated dispense tips control wicking to stop dripping. By providing fast, clean cutoff they increase productivity and reduce material waste.
Ideal for particle-filled material and optical media applications, these tips also eliminate potential clogging for more accurate dispensing.
Options:
- 12.7 mm / 0.50" - Purple (21 ga), Blue (22 ga), Orange (23 ga), Red (25 ga)
Optimum PTFE-lined Tips
Our clog-free, PTFE-lined dispense tips are ideal for dispensing low-viscosity cyanoacrylates and other assembly fluids.
Options:
- 12.7 mm / 0.50" & 25.4 mm/ 1.0" - Grey (21 ga), Pink (25 ga)
