Paired with the DPS Spray Dispenser for maintenance and repair projects, the complete MixCoat Spray system includes cartridges containing the packaged coating material, a mixer that ensures consistent coating mix and the pneumatic operated spray, the company says.
The Mixpac MixCoat Spray system is ideal for one-handed use, and its dials and settings are located on the handle, eliminating the need for additional hoses and gauges, the company adds. With the system, users also have the ability to use 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 ratios by removing the plunger disk and selecting the correct ratio.

According to the company, MixCoat Manual offers efficient, clean and cost-optimized repair work with less waste. The Mixpac MixCoat Manual model does not require pre-mixing or metering of components. It also does not require mixing equipment, the company adds. Cartridges for this model are available for 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 ratios.
