Adhesives in the palm of your hand

Peter Swanson, managing director at Intertronics is very pleased with his latest adhesive dispenser: "The Tridak Micro-Dot is a brilliant little tool," he said.

"It uses a standard 10ml syringe barrel filled with pretty much any liquid you like and is ideal for manual dispensing of small quantities in every area from medical device manufacture to electronic assemblies, laboratories, jewellery, optical fluids, repairs and marking." Micro-dot quantities of adhesives, greases, inks and oils are all now literally at hand. And there's no compressed air needed, so the dispenser is fully portable. The Micro-Dot has a twist safety-interlock to prevent accidental activation. To operate, simply advance the piston which expels the liquid micro-dot exactly when and where required.
