The Stata-tube sections are injection moulded in one operation. This moulding procedure ensures a low unit cost, excellent quality control and rugged reinforced geometry. Metal or plastic tubing may be used to house the mixing sections.

In applications where solids or fibres are present, clipped sections are recommended. This "Non plugged" geometry eliminates the sharp crevices, where material can build up and plug the mixer.

The sections are stocked in two engineering plastics, which are described below. If required, the sections can also be supplied in other plastics, such as Kynar™

Polyplas™ is our proprietary plastic developed to have the toughness and chemical inertness required by the adhesives and sealants industry. Polyplas is completely inert to all common solvents, such as MEK, acetone, and methylene chloride. Its maximum service temperature is 250 deg F. polyplas is not recommended for mixing water and acids.

Polypropylene is a polyolefin, which has excellent chemical resistance. It is inert to water, as well as acids and bases. Its maximum service temperature is 200 deg F.
