Description
The Mixpac MBQX 05-24L is a disposable QUADRO static mixer for 4:1 and 10:1 B-System cartridges. It has 24 mixing elements in a 5.3 mm bore and measures 122 mm (4.80 in) overall, which gives it eight more mixing passes than the shorter size in the MBQX line. The dust grey collar with orange elements identifies it as the 4:1 and 10:1 version, and the luer slip outlet tip mates with syringe fittings and small dispensing accessories.

Where the 05-24L fits
- 24 elements gives eight more mixing passes than the 16 element version. Use it when the mixed bead shows streaking, color variation, or uneven cure at 16.
- At 4:1 and especially 10:1 there is far less of the B side to distribute than at 1:1, so these chemistries can be less forgiving of a short mixer. This is often the size that fixes an off-ratio material.
- Same 5.3 mm bore as the 05-16L, so bead size and flow rate are identical. You gain mixing without changing how the material lays down.
- 31 mm longer at 122 mm. Worth checking clearance if you work in enclosures or tight assemblies.
- More elements means more resistance at the gun. On thicker materials and manual cartridge guns, test before switching up from 16.
- Mounts directly to the cartridge with a twist and lock connection. No converter, no retaining nut, no tools.

Common applications
- Small-batch and repair bonding from 45 ml, 50 ml, and 75 ml cartridges
- Off-ratio two-part chemistries at 4:1 and 10:1 that need more mixing passes
- Harder-to-mix adhesives that streak or cure unevenly at 16 elements
- Electronics and small component assembly where a fine bead is needed
- Field service and maintenance work with portable cartridge guns
- Dispensing epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, acrylic, and MMA two-part adhesives and sealants
Ordering
The MBQX 05-24L is stocked and sold individually, so you can order one to check fit or test a material before buying a larger quantity. Pair it with matching B-System cartridges and dispensing guns from the dispensers, mixers, and nozzles category.
Frequently asked questions
What cartridges does the MBQX 05-24L 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 MFQX instead.
What does MBQX 05-24L mean?
MBQ is mixer, B-System, QUADRO design. The X marks the 4:1 and 10:1 version with orange elements. The 05 is the inner diameter rounded down, actually 5.3 mm. The 24 is the number of mixing elements. The L is the luer slip outlet tip.
When do I need 24 elements instead of 16?
When the mixed bead shows streaking, color variation, soft spots, or uneven cure at 16 elements. Off-ratio chemistries at 4:1 and 10:1 have far less of the B side to distribute, so they often need the extra passes. The tradeoff is 31 mm more nozzle length, more back pressure at the gun, and more material left in the nozzle. If the bead looks uniform at 16, the 05-16L is the shorter and lower waste option.
How do I tell an MBQX from an MBQ?
Element color. MBQX has orange elements and fits 4:1 and 10:1 cartridges. MBQ has green elements and fits 1:1 and 2:1. Both use the same dust grey collar and the same dimensions, so color is the only thing to check against the ratio printed on your cartridge.
Can I buy a single MBQX 05-24L?
Yes. It is stocked and sold individually, so you can order one to check fit or test a material before buying a larger quantity.
Does this nozzle need a converter or retaining nut?
No. The MBQX mounts directly to the B-System cartridge with a twist and lock connection. No converter, no retaining nut, no tools.
