Description
The Mixpac MFQ 05-16L is a disposable QUADRO static mixer for 1:1 and 2:1 F-System cartridges. It has 16 mixing elements in a 5.3 mm bore and measures 100 mm (3.94 in) overall, which makes it the shortest and narrowest nozzle in the MFQ 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 MFQ line at 100 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 MFQ 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 MFQ 05-16L mean?
MFQ is mixer, F-System, QUADRO design, with no X meaning the 1:1 and 2:1 version with a white 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 MFQ static mixer?
The MFQ 05-16L at 100 mm long with a 5.3 mm bore and 16 elements. It is the shortest, narrowest, and lowest element count nozzle in the MFQ 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 32 mm more nozzle length and more resistance at the gun. If your material blends cleanly at 16 elements, the 05-16L is the shorter and lower resistance choice.
What is the difference between the MFQ 05-16L and the MFQX 05-16L?
The MFQ has a white interface and fits 1:1 and 2:1 cartridges. The MFQX 05-16L has an orange interface and fits 4:1 and 10:1. Same QUADRO element design and nearly the same dimensions, but the ratios do not interchange. Check the interface color against the ratio printed on your cartridge.
What is a luer tip for?
A luer tip mates with valves, manifolds, and fittings rather than dispensing straight onto the part. If your setup feeds the mixed material into a line or a dispensing valve, the luer sizes are the ones that connect. For dispensing directly to the part, the stepped tip sizes in the 07, 08, and 10 bores are the better fit.
Does this nozzle need a converter or retaining nut?
No. The MFQ mounts directly to the F-System cartridge with a twist and lock connection. No converter, no retaining nut, no tools.
