Menda 2 oz Blue durAstatic ESD-Safe Flux Dispenser with 26 Gauge Needle – 35563
Apply flux precisely while helping protect static-sensitive electronic components with this 2 oz blue durAstatic dispensing bottle from Menda. Designed for electronics assembly, soldering, circuit board repair, and other precision applications, this ESD-safe dispenser features a fine 26-gauge stainless steel needle tip for controlled placement of compatible liquid flux.
The bottle is manufactured from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with Menda's durAstatic static-dissipative technology. Unlike bottles that rely on temporary topical antistatic treatments, the ESD properties are incorporated into the bottle material and conductive cap, providing lasting static-control performance without migratory additives.
Its fine 26-gauge needle tip is especially useful when applying small amounts of liquid to closely spaced components, solder joints, terminals, and other detailed work areas. The narrow dispensing tip helps direct liquid where it is needed, reducing unnecessary application around surrounding components.
The needle is secured with a Luer lock connection designed to help prevent leakage and maintain a reliable attachment during use. The conductive black cap and blue static-dissipative bottle provide an ESD-protective dispensing system for use around sensitive electronic assemblies.
The bottle is silicone-free and contains no migratory additives or surfactants that could leave an oily surface or introduce unwanted contamination. An embossed ESD protective symbol identifies the bottle as suitable for static-control environments.
With its compact 2 oz capacity and durable construction, this dispenser is a practical choice for electronics technicians, PCB assembly workstations, soldering professionals, and repair specialists who need precise liquid application around static-sensitive components.
Manufactured in the United States, this genuine Menda dispenser combines ESD protection, a fine stainless steel needle, and convenient refillable construction for everyday precision work.

Precision 26-Gauge Needle Dispensing
The 26-gauge stainless steel needle provides a fine dispensing opening for accurate placement of compatible liquid flux.
Its narrow tip makes it especially useful when working with small components, closely spaced solder joints, and other areas where precise liquid placement is important.
Compared with larger-gauge openings, the fine needle allows more controlled application of low-viscosity liquids.
This helps minimize excess liquid around nearby components and reduces unnecessary cleanup after dispensing.
For thicker liquids, a larger needle opening may provide easier flow.
durAstatic ESD Protection
The bottle features Menda's durAstatic static-dissipative technology, designed for use around static-sensitive electronic components.
Its ESD properties are incorporated directly into the LDPE bottle material rather than applied as a temporary surface coating.
This provides lasting static-control performance and avoids the use of migratory antistatic additives.
The conductive black cap works with the dissipative bottle to provide an ESD-protective dispensing assembly.
The bottle is embossed with the ESD protective symbol for easy identification.
Silicone-Free, Low-Contamination Construction
The durAstatic bottle is manufactured without silicone or migratory antistatic additives.
Some conventional antistatic treatments can migrate to the surface of a container, potentially leaving an oily film or introducing unwanted residues.
Menda's embedded ESD technology eliminates the need for these topical treatments.
This makes the dispenser especially useful for electronics manufacturing and repair applications where clean handling practices are important.
Secure Luer Lock Needle Connection
The stainless steel needle attaches using a Luer lock connection.
This secure connection helps prevent the needle assembly from loosening during normal dispensing and reduces the risk of leakage at the connection.
The Luer lock design also makes the dispenser convenient for applications requiring controlled placement of compatible liquids.
The needle and hub should be inspected before use to ensure the connection is secure.
Compact 2 oz Bottle
The 2 oz capacity provides a convenient amount of liquid for precision soldering and electronics maintenance without requiring a large container on the workbench.
Its compact cylindrical design is easy to handle and store alongside soldering tools, inspection equipment, and cleaning supplies.
The refillable LDPE bottle is lightweight and durable for repeated use with compatible liquids.
Chemical Compatibility and Safe Use
This dispenser is designed for compatible liquid flux and other suitable low-viscosity liquids.
Chemical compatibility depends on the complete dispensing assembly, including the LDPE bottle, conductive cap, stainless steel needle, and polypropylene Luer lock hub.
Always verify compatibility with the specific liquid before filling the bottle.
The 26-gauge needle is intended for fine liquid dispensing and may not be suitable for thick or highly viscous materials.
Keep the needle clean and free of dried flux residue to maintain consistent dispensing performance.
Use appropriate protective equipment and follow the liquid manufacturer's safety instructions.
The dispenser is supplied empty and does not include flux or other liquids.
