Description
The Mixpac MFQX 05-16L is a disposable QUADRO static mixer for 4:1 and 10:1 F-System cartridges. It has 16 mixing elements in a 5.3 mm bore and measures 101 mm (3.98 in) overall, which makes it the shortest and narrowest nozzle in the MFQX line. The luer outlet tip mates with valves and fittings rather than dispensing straight to the part.

Where the 05-16L fits
- Shortest nozzle in the MFQX line at 101 mm. Useful in tight fixtures, enclosed assemblies, and anywhere nozzle clearance is limited.
- Narrowest bore at 5.3 mm. Gives the finest bead and the tightest placement control of any MFQX size.
- Lowest element count in the line at 16, which keeps resistance low in an already narrow bore. Suited to materials that blend without much shear.
- The luer tip mates with valves, manifolds, and fittings. If you are dispensing straight to the part instead, the stepped tip sizes are the better fit.
- Mounts directly to the cartridge with a twist and lock connection. No converter, no retaining nut, no tools.
- Disposable, so there is no purging or cleanup between adhesive batches.

Frequently asked questions
What does MFQX 05-16L mean?
MFQ is mixer, F-System, QUADRO design. The X marks the 4:1 and 10:1 version with an orange interface. The 05 is the inner diameter rounded down, actually 5.3 mm. The 16 is the number of mixing elements. The L is the luer outlet tip.
What is the smallest MFQX static mixer?
The MFQX 05-16L at 101 mm long with a 5.3 mm bore and 16 elements. It is the shortest, narrowest, and lowest element count nozzle in the MFQX line.
Should I use the 05-16L or the 05-24L?
Both have the same 5.3 mm bore and the same luer tip, so bead size and flow rate are identical. The 05-24L adds eight mixing elements for a more thorough blend. The tradeoff is 31 mm more nozzle length
