Menda 2 oz Blue durAstatic ESD-Safe Flux Dispenser with 18, 20 & 26 Gauge Needles – 35610
Apply liquid flux precisely where it's needed with this 2 oz blue durAstatic flux dispenser from Menda. Designed for electronics assembly, soldering, PCB repair, and precision rework, this ESD-safe dispensing bottle includes three interchangeable stainless steel needle tips in 18, 20, and 26 gauge sizes.
The squeezable low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bottle provides controlled application of compatible liquid flux, allowing you to reach small solder joints, component leads, terminals, and other confined areas without pouring or brushing flux over surrounding surfaces.
Menda's durAstatic technology incorporates static-dissipative properties into the bottle material and conductive cap. This makes the dispenser suitable for use around static-sensitive electronic components while eliminating the need for topical antistatic treatments.
The bottle is silicone-free and contains no migratory antistatic additives or surfactants that could leave unwanted oily residue. Its blue color, permanent "FLUX" imprint, and embossed ESD protective symbol make it easy to identify at electronics workstations.
Three needle gauges provide flexibility for different application requirements. The 18-gauge tip has the largest opening, the 20-gauge tip offers an intermediate size, and the fine 26-gauge tip is suitable for more detailed dispensing.
The needle tips attach using a Luer lock hub, providing a secure connection that helps prevent leakage during use. The compact 2 oz bottle is comfortable to handle and convenient for precision work where a larger dispenser would be cumbersome.
Manufactured in the United States, this refillable flux dispenser provides an effective combination of ESD protection, precise liquid application, and interchangeable dispensing tips.

Three Needle Sizes for Precision Application
The dispenser includes three stainless steel needle tips, allowing you to select the opening size that best suits your application.
18 Gauge – Larger Opening
The 18-gauge needle has the largest opening of the three included tips.
It is useful when a larger amount of compatible liquid flux is needed or when working with formulations that flow more easily through a wider opening.
20 Gauge – Intermediate Opening
The 20-gauge needle provides a balance between flow and application precision.
It is a versatile option for many routine soldering and electronics repair tasks.
26 Gauge – Fine Opening
The 26-gauge needle has the smallest opening of the three included tips.
It is particularly useful for applying small amounts of low-viscosity flux around fine component leads, closely spaced connections, and other detailed work areas.
The best needle size depends on the viscosity of the flux and the amount required for the task.
durAstatic ESD Protection
Menda's durAstatic technology is designed for use in electrostatic discharge-controlled environments.
The LDPE bottle contains built-in static-dissipative properties, while the black cap is manufactured from conductive material.
This construction helps reduce static-related risks when working around sensitive electronic components.
The bottle has a specified volume resistance of 1 × 10⁷ to less than 1 × 10¹⁰ ohms, tested according to ANSI/ESD STD11.12.
Because the ESD properties are incorporated into the materials, the dispenser does not rely on a temporary antistatic coating.
The embossed ESD protective symbol provides quick visual identification.
Silicone-Free, Low-Contamination Construction
The durAstatic bottle is manufactured without silicone, migratory antistatic additives, or surfactants.
This helps reduce the possibility of unwanted residue associated with certain conventional antistatic treatments.
For electronics manufacturing and repair, keeping work surfaces and dispensing equipment free from unnecessary contaminants can be important to consistent soldering and cleaning results.
The bottle's built-in ESD properties help maintain its static-control characteristics without relying on additives that migrate to the surface.
Secure Luer Lock Needle Connection
The stainless steel needle tips use a Luer lock hub to attach securely to the dispenser.
This connection helps prevent accidental separation and leakage during dispensing.
The interchangeable design allows you to switch between 18, 20, and 26 gauge needles as application requirements change.
Always ensure the needle assembly is properly secured before applying pressure to the bottle.
Squeezable LDPE Bottle for Controlled Flow
The flexible LDPE bottle allows liquid to be dispensed by applying gentle pressure.
This gives you direct control over the application of compatible flux without requiring a mechanical pump.
The compact round bottle is easy to position near solder joints, component leads, and other small work areas.
Release pressure after dispensing to help stop the flow.
For best results, select a needle gauge appropriate for the flux viscosity and avoid excessive squeezing.
Clearly Printed FLUX Identification
The blue bottle is permanently imprinted with "FLUX."
This makes it easy to identify among other chemical dispensers used at electronics workstations.
The embossed ESD protective symbol also distinguishes the bottle as part of a static-control setup.
The permanent identification is especially convenient in production environments where flux dispensers are used repeatedly.
Always verify the actual contents and follow applicable workplace chemical-labeling requirements.
Compact 2 oz Capacity
The 2 oz bottle provides approximately 59 mL of liquid capacity.
Its compact size makes it convenient for precision soldering and repair tasks that require frequent repositioning of the dispenser.
The smaller capacity also helps reduce the amount of flux kept at the immediate workstation compared with larger containers.
The bottle can be refilled with compatible liquid flux when properly cleaned and maintained.
Chemical Compatibility and Safe Use
This dispenser is intended for compatible liquid flux formulations.
Compatibility depends on the LDPE bottle, conductive cap, polypropylene Luer lock hub, stainless steel needles, and the specific chemical formulation.
Verify compatibility before filling the dispenser, particularly when using aggressive solvents or specialty fluxes.
Select the needle gauge according to the liquid's viscosity and the required application precision.
Keep needle tips clean to prevent dried flux residue from restricting flow.
When using flammable or solvent-based flux, follow the manufacturer's safety instructions, provide suitable ventilation, and keep the dispenser away from ignition sources.
The dispenser is supplied empty and does not include flux.
