Techcon TS18P Pink Plastic Dispensing Needle, 18 Gauge x 1-1/2 In., 500 Pack

Description

TS18P needle is a Techcon pink plastic dispensing tip with 18 gauge size and 1-1/2 inch length, supplied in a 500 pack. The flexible plastic tip helps operators reach into tight areas and place material without a rigid metal cannula.

TS18P needle Benefits

• 18 gauge opening supports controlled flow for many adhesives, sealants, inks, and process fluids.
• Flexible plastic body helps reach around fixtures, walls, and part edges.
• 1-1/2 inch length gives extra access compared with short dispensing tips.
• Pink color coding helps operators identify the 18 gauge tip quickly.
• 500 pack supply fits production benches where tips are changed often for clean work.

This tip is useful when a rigid metal needle could scratch the part or cannot bend into position. It gives technicians a disposable path for repeat dots, short beads, and hard-to-reach deposits.

TS18P needle Applications

• Adhesive placement into recessed features, channels, and housings.
• Cyanoacrylate, sealant, ink, and light process-fluid dispensing.
• Manual syringe work during repair, prototype, and assembly tasks.
• Production stations that need color-coded gauge control.
• Field kits where flexible access matters more than a rigid needle path.

Surface Preparation And Use

Choose the tip only after confirming material viscosity, particle size, and desired bead width. Start with low pressure and test the deposit on scrap. Increase pressure gradually, because a blocked fine tip can release suddenly when pressure is too high.

Keep the needle clean until use and replace it when cured material, filler, or skinning changes the bead. Store unused tips in their package so dust does not enter the fluid path.

Techcon references list the TS18P-1-1/2-500 as an 18 gauge pink plastic dispensing needle, 1-1/2 inches long, supplied 500 per pack. Review current dispensing tip information from Techcon before approving a production setup.
