Two-Chamber WD-40 Lubricant Valve for On-Demand Mixing of Multi-Part Formulas.
Product Description:
Unlock the potential of advanced chemistry with our Two-Chamber Solvent-Actuated Valve. This sophisticated valve is designed for canisters with separate internal chambers, keeping a solid catalyst or a second liquid component isolated from the main lubricant or resin. When the valve is actuated, a small, precise amount of a solvent from the main chamber is diverted to dissolve or mix with the secondary component immediately before dispensing. This on-demand mixing creates a chemically activated formula, such as a super-penetrant, a rapid-curing threadlocker, or a high-strength adhesive, with a potency and shelf life impossible to achieve in a pre-mixed state. This valve is a platform for next-generation chemical products, enabling powerful, specialized solutions that are mixed fresh at the point of application.
Bullet Points:
Enables on-demand mixing of two-part formulas within the valve upon actuation.
Unlocks new product categories like super-penetrants and instant-cure coatings.
Extends shelf life of reactive chemicals by keeping components separate until use.
Provides a consistent mix ratio and spray pattern with every use.
Represents a platform for advanced, chemically-activated lubricants and coatings.
Specific Application Scenario: A user sprays a "super-penetrant" that mixes a powerful solvent with a rust-inhibiting agent inside the valve, creating a far more potent formula for freeing a seized engine bolt than any pre-mixed product.
Factory Production Floor: This is a highly complex valve assembly requiring precision machining and calibration to ensure the correct mix ratio. It is assembled on a dedicated, low-volume line.
Packing and Transportation: Sold as a complete unit with a specialized two-chamber canister. Packaged as a high-end, professional-grade solution.
FAQ:
Q: What kind of new products can this enable?
A: Potential products include instant-curing protective coatings, chemically-welding lubricants for porous metals, and penetrants with integrated molecular rust converters.
Q: How is the mix ratio controlled?
A: The ratio is mechanically fixed by the internal geometry of the valve's dual pathways, ensuring a consistent blend every time.
Q: What happens if the valve clogs?
A: Clogging is a more significant issue due to the reactive nature of the mixed formula. The canister will include instructions to clear the valve by spraying until clear after each use.
Q: Is this for consumer use?
A: Initially, this will be a technology for industrial and professional-grade products due to its complexity and cost.
Q: Can the valve be used with standard, single-chamber cans?
A: No, it is specifically and exclusively designed for the two-chamber canister system.
