Techcon Systems - Cartridge
Plunger Comparison
Cartridge plungers ensure that the pressure is evenly spread across
the fluid surface to provide consistent dispensing. Wiping edges
prevent dripping and eliminate material waste by wiping the
cartridge walls clean, as fluid is dispensed.
Dispensing without a plunger inserted can result in unreliable
dispensing deposits, as the supplied air pressure can become
trapped inside the fluid, resulting in void pockets. In addition,
moisture found in the air, can affect the properties of the fluid.
Techcon Systems is pleased to demonstrate the advantages of each plunger type.
TS1P MEDIUM INTERFERENCE 2.5oz – 12oz
74ml – 355ml
For medium to thick materials 
A general purpose plunger that is easy to install and provides a double
wiping edge. High visibility when inside cartridge. Available in black to
support UV materials and both versions are made of low density
polyethylene (LDPE).
TS1WP HIGH INTERFERENCE - For thin materials
2.5oz – 12oz
74ml – 355ml
A tighter fitting plunger that prevents even the thinnest materials from
leaking out of the cartridge. Also suited for thick materials when a
complete air tight seal is required. Natural in color and made of low
density polyethylene (LDPE).
TS1WP-RIB LOW INTERFERENCE - For very thick materials
2.5oz – 12oz
74ml – 355ml
Incorporating specially designed RIB’s, that are equally spaced, ensures
a shallow area remains present around the piston outer walls – directing
unwanted air out of the fluid during cartridge filling and dispensing. A
single wiping edge can allow some material residue to remain on
cartridge walls. Very easy to install, natural in color and made of low
density polyethylene (LDPE).
TS3WP-MD MEDIUM INTERFERENCE - For medium to thick materials
2.5oz – 12oz
74ml – 355ml
Similar in application uses as the TS1P model, this medium density
plunger prevents "flipping" during insertion into empty cartridges, due to
its equally sized front and rear wiping edges. Natural in color and made
of medium density polyethylene (MDPE).
TS2P HIGH INTERFERENCE - For all types of materials
1/10 Gallon
325ml
A general purpose plunger that accommodates typical materials supplied
in 1/10 gallon or “Euro” style cartridges. Recommended for use with
devices, such as air powered or manual caulking guns, to prevent leakage
past the double wiping edges. Available in black to support UV materials
TS20P HIGH INTERFERENCE - For all types of materials
20oz
591ml
This standard 20oz (591ml) wiper plunger is recommended for use with
air powered devices, such as a cartridge gun, to prevent leakage past the
double wiping edges. Available in white (MDPE) to support UV and
general materials or natural (LDPE) for easy insertion into cartridges.
