Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Dispensing Tip?

A dispensing tip is a narrow metal or plastic tip used in precision dispensing systems to make consistent deposits of fluid used in assembly processes. Dispensing tips, also called dispense tips or dispensing needles, most commonly attach to the end of a syringe barrel reservoir.

What's the difference between a dispensing tip and a dispensing needle?

Dispensing tips are the components used at the end of an industrial dispensing head to apply fluids to coat, seal, bond, and fill parts of an assembly. There are as many shapes and sizes of dispense tips as there are industrial fluids and applications, but there are also some commonalities.

Can I reuse a dispense tip?

Like syringe barrels, precision dispensing tips are designed for single use only. The dimensions make them impossible to fully clean. Any attempted reuse can lead to cross-contamination between like fluids, dissimilar fluids, and even the cleaning material. Worse, particularly in the case of adhesives or high viscosity fluids, the tip could become blocked entirely.
