Description
The MBHX 06-16T static mixer is a disposable helix mixing nozzle for dispensing two-part adhesives from B-System AB cartridges in 4:1 and 10:1 ratios. It has the widest bore in the Mixpac MBHX series at 6.5 mm, with 16 elements and a stepped tip, and it is the stepped-tip version of the 06-16D. Orange elements in a dust grey body mark it as the 4:1 and 10:1 version. The 1:1 and 2:1 version with the same bore, element count, tip, and length is the MBH 06-16T, which has white elements.

Where the MBHX 06-16T fits
- Widest bore in the line. The 6.5 mm bore is 1.1 mm wider than the 5.4 mm models, such as the 05-16T.
- 10.5 mm longer than the 06-16D. Same bore and same 16 elements. The stepped tip is what adds the length over the straight-tip 06-16D.
- 26.0 mm shorter than the 06-20T. The 06-20T has the same bore and stepped tip with 20 elements, four more than the 06-16T.
- Close in length to the 05-20T. The 05-20T is 1.8 mm longer with a narrower 5.4 mm bore and 20 elements. The 06-16T is 131.0 mm with a 6.5 mm bore and 16 elements.
- Same cartridges as the rest of the line. It fits B-System 4:1 and 10:1 cartridges from 45 ml to 75 ml, with the orange elements marking the ratio version.
- Disposable. A fresh nozzle avoids purging and cleanup between adhesive batches, and mounts directly to the cartridge.

You also need a gun that matches the cartridge. The MBHX series page lists the guns for each B-System cartridge.

Frequently asked questions
What cartridges does the MBHX 06-16T fit?
Mixpac B-System AB cartridges in 4:1 and 10:1 ratios, covering the 50 ml 4:1, the 45 ml and 50 ml 10:1, and the 75 ml 10:1 sizes. It does not fit F-System 200 or 400 series cartridges, which use the MFHX or MFQX instead.
What is the difference between the MBHX 06-16T and the MBH 06-16T?
Element color and ratio. The MBHX has orange elements and is built for 4:1 and 10:1 cartridges. The MBH 06-16T has white elements and is built for 1:1 and 2:1. Both share the 6.5 mm bore, 16 elements, stepped tip, and length, but the ratios do not interchange. Check the element color against the ratio printed on your cartridge.
What is the difference between the MBHX 06-16T and the 06-16D?
The tip and the length. Both have the 6.5 mm bore and 16 elements. The 06-16T has a stepped tip. The 06-16D has a straight tip and is 10.5 mm shorter.
Should I use the MBHX 06-16T or the 06-20T?
The difference is element count and length. The 06-16T has 16 elements. The 06-20T has 20 elements at the same 6.5 mm bore with a stepped tip, and it is 26.0 mm longer. If the mixed bead shows streaking, color variation, or uneven cure at 16 elements, step up to the 06-20T.
Can I buy a single MBHX 06-16T nozzle?
The MBHX 06-16T is sold by the case of 3,000, so it is not a single-nozzle item. If you want one nozzle to test a material, the 06-20T has the same 6.5 mm bore and stepped tip and is stocked and sold individually, and so is the 05-16T. Call or email about case orders of the 06-16T.
Does the MBHX 06-16T need a converter or retaining nut?
No. It mounts directly to the B-System cartridge with a twist and lock connection. No converter, no retaining nut, no tools.
