Description
The Newborn VR200XSP variable ratio gun (also written VR200-XSP) is a manual gun for 200ml MIXPAC two-part cartridges. One gun covers the common two-part ratios from 1:1 up through 10:1 because the push disks snap on and off the push rods. A shop that runs more than one two-part adhesive does not need a separate gun for each ratio. Pick a ratio when you order and we set the gun up for it, then swap disks any time the cartridge changes.

Performance in Production
- The 26:1 thrust ratio reduces the hand effort needed to push thicker two-part materials through the cartridge and static mixer.
- Snap-in and snap-out push disks change the gun between ratios in seconds, with no disassembly, so a bench can move between adhesive systems without swapping tools.
- A heat treated drive rod and hexagonal push rods are built to hold up to daily shop use.
- The effective trigger grip automatically takes up trigger play as the gun wears, so each squeeze delivers full trigger action.
- The starburst release plate makes it easier to relieve pressure at the end of a bead and stop material flow.
- At 3.7 lb with a rubber coated comfort grip, the gun is manageable for long seam runs and repeated bead work.
Common Applications
- Natural stone and solid surface countertop seaming with two-part cartridge adhesives
- Solid surface fabrication work, including flooring and landscaping projects
- Automotive aftermarket bonding with two-part cartridge adhesives
- Shops that run several two-part adhesives at different mix ratios from one bench
- Short production runs and repair work that use 200ml MIXPAC cartridges

How to Change the Mix Ratio on a Variable Ratio Gun
Ratio matters because the gun pushes both sides of a two-part cartridge at a fixed rate relative to each other. The push disks set that rate. Here is the shop routine on the VR200XSP:
- Read the mix ratio on the cartridge label before you load it.
- Snap the push disks that match that ratio onto the push rods. No tools and no disassembly are needed.
- Load the 200ml cartridge and confirm it is a MIXPAC C-System or F-System body.
- Fit a new static mixer that matches the cartridge system and ratio.
- Squeeze the trigger and discard a short purge bead until the mixed material runs a uniform color.
- Dispense, then use the starburst release plate to relieve pressure at the end of the bead.
The gun accepts both C-System and F-System 200ml cartridges, but the mixer outlets are different, so match the mixer to the cartridge and not to the gun.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Newborn VR200XSP used for?
The Newborn VR200XSP is a manual gun for dispensing two-part 200ml MIXPAC cartridges. VR200XSP, VR200-XSP, Newborn variable ratio gun, and multi-ratio 200ml applicator all describe the same tool. It is used in countertop seaming, solid surface work, and automotive aftermarket bonding.
Do I need a separate gun for each mix ratio?
No. The VR200XSP uses snap-in and snap-out push disks to change ratio, so one gun handles 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1 cartridges. No disassembly is required.
Can the VR200XSP run 10:1 cartridges?
Yes. Select the 10:1 option and the gun ships set up for 10:1 200ml MIXPAC cartridges. You can switch it to 1:1, 2:1, or 4:1 later with the push disks.
Which ratio should I pick when I order?
Pick the ratio of the cartridge you run most. We set the gun up for that ratio before it ships, and the snap-in disks let you change it whenever your adhesive changes.
Which cartridges fit the VR200-XSP?
The VR200-XSP fits 200ml MIXPAC C-System and F-System two-part cartridges in 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1 ratios. For 400ml cartridges, look at the Newborn VR400-XSP.
What static mixer do I need for the VR200XSP?
The mixer depends on the cartridge, not the gun. C-System and F-System cartridges use different mixer outlets, so match the mixer to the cartridge body. See the Medmix MIXPAC MCQ 08-24T static mixer for 1:1 and 2:1 C-System cartridges and the Medmix MIXPAC MFHX static mixer nozzles for F-System cartridges, or call us for high-ratio C-System mixers.
Where is the Newborn VR200XSP made?
Newborn Brothers is based in Jessup, Maryland and has built sealant applicators since 1974. For the country of manufacture on the current production run, call us at (800) 220-1966 and we will confirm.
