Menda 2 oz Yellow durAstatic ESD-Safe Flux Dispenser with 18 Gauge Needle – 35573
Apply liquid flux with precision while working around static-sensitive electronic components using this 2 oz yellow durAstatic dispensing bottle from Menda. Featuring an 18-gauge needle tip, a static-dissipative LDPE bottle, and a conductive cap, this dispenser is designed for controlled liquid application during electronics assembly, soldering, printed circuit board repair, and precision maintenance.
Menda's durAstatic technology incorporates static-dissipative properties directly into the bottle material and conductive cap. Unlike conventional containers that rely on topical antistatic treatments, this construction provides lasting ESD protection without migratory additives or surfactants that can leave unwanted residue.
The 18-gauge needle provides a practical balance of controlled placement and liquid flow. Its opening is larger than those of 20- and 26-gauge needles, making it useful when greater flow is needed for compatible flux formulations. The needle assembly features a secure Luer lock connection to help prevent leakage during dispensing.
The bright yellow bottle is easy to identify at electronics workstations, while its compact 2 oz capacity makes it convenient for daily use. An embossed ESD protective symbol identifies the bottle for use in static-control environments.
Silicone-free construction helps reduce potential contamination in sensitive work areas. The refillable bottle is suitable for repeated use with compatible liquids and provides a convenient alternative to dispensing directly from larger containers.
Made in the United States, this genuine Menda dispenser combines precision needle application, durable construction, and static-control performance for professional electronics work.

durAstatic ESD Protection
Menda's durAstatic technology provides static-dissipative performance through the material used to manufacture the bottle.
The ESD properties are incorporated directly into the LDPE bottle and conductive cap rather than applied as a temporary surface coating.
This helps provide consistent static-control characteristics during normal use and eliminates the need for migratory antistatic additives.
The bottle has a specified volume resistance of 1 × 10⁷ to less than 1 × 10¹⁰ ohms, tested according to ANSI/ESD STM11.12.
An embossed ESD protective symbol makes the dispenser easy to identify in static-control work areas.
Controlled 18-Gauge Needle Dispensing
The 18-gauge needle tip allows compatible liquids to be applied directly to specific work areas.
Its opening is larger than those of 20- and 26-gauge needles, allowing greater liquid flow when needed.
This makes it a practical option for dispensing suitable liquid flux during soldering, component assembly, and circuit board maintenance.
The appropriate needle gauge depends on the liquid's viscosity, desired flow rate, and precision requirements.
Secure Luer Lock Connection
The needle assembly features a Luer lock connection designed to hold the dispensing tip securely in place.
This connection helps reduce leakage at the needle attachment and provides reliable operation during routine use.
The needle can be replaced with a compatible tip when necessary, allowing the dispensing bottle to remain in service.
Silicone-Free, Low-Contamination Construction
The bottle is manufactured without silicone or migratory antistatic additives.
Some topical antistatic treatments can migrate to the surface of a container, leaving residue that may be undesirable in sensitive electronics applications.
Menda's embedded durAstatic technology eliminates the need for these treatments.
This construction makes the dispenser especially useful in electronics assembly and repair environments where clean handling practices are important.
Compact Yellow 2 oz Bottle
The bright yellow bottle provides easy visual identification among other tools and dispensing containers.
Its 2 oz capacity is convenient for workstations where small quantities of flux are used throughout the day.
The cylindrical LDPE bottle is lightweight and durable, while the compact size makes it easy to keep alongside soldering irons, inspection equipment, and cleaning supplies.
The bottle is refillable with compatible liquids when properly cleaned and maintained.
Choosing the Right Needle Gauge
Menda offers durAstatic flux dispensers with several needle sizes for different application requirements.
-
16 Gauge: Larger opening for greater liquid flow.
-
18 Gauge: Controlled dispensing with a relatively large opening.
-
20 Gauge: Smaller opening for finer application.
-
26 Gauge: Fine opening for detailed dispensing of suitable low-viscosity liquids.
A lower gauge number indicates a larger needle diameter.
For applications requiring greater liquid flow, an 18-gauge tip may be preferable to a finer needle. For very small dispensing areas, a 20- or 26-gauge tip may provide more precise control.
Chemical Compatibility and Safe Use
This dispenser is intended for compatible liquid flux and other suitable dispensing fluids.
Chemical compatibility depends on the complete assembly, including the LDPE bottle, cap, needle, hub, and seals.
Always verify compatibility with the specific liquid before filling the dispenser.
Keep the needle free from dried flux residue to maintain consistent flow, and replace damaged or clogged tips when necessary.
Follow the liquid manufacturer's safety instructions and use appropriate protective equipment.
The dispenser is supplied empty and does not include liquid flux.
