Sulzer Mixpac AG – a subsidiary of Sulzer Ltd., a global leader in the manufacture and supply of liquid application and mixing technology products and services – will showcase its innovative new Blueline cartridge system at JEC World 2017 in Paris.
Dispensing rates up to three times higher
Highly viscous materials push existing cartridge systems to their limits in terms of the achievable dispensing rate. Previously, users would have to make do with small quantities of such materials or switch to considerably more complex mechanical processing of adhesives. Available with 2:1 and 10:1 mixing ratios, the Blueline cartridge system opens up a host of new possibilities.
Applications in aircraft and vehicle construction, general industry and the building sector
Marco Frei, Head Sales Industry EMIRA at Sulzer Mixpac AG, explains: “Blueline extends the range of possible applications for cartridges , allowing end users to boost productivity. Compared with existing systems, it offers considerably higher dispensing rates when applying highly viscous materials. The large cross-sections of the outlets combined with new, optimised mixing geometry increases dispensing rates up to threefold compared with currently available cartridge systems – and all this with the same dispensing force. The interface design features separate outlets from the cartridge to the mixer, removing the risk of unintentional mixing and clogging of the cartridge outlet by material components. This translates into clean and reliable processing of two-component materials.”
Quick, safe and clean processing of sensitive 2-K materials
Honeycomb core and edging filler are applied in two-component (2-K) form in sectors such as aircraft construction. These materials have densities of less than 1g/ml and are formed by adding hollow plastic or glass spheres, which helps to reduce weight. When processing such materials, high pressure and high shear rates cause these spheres to burst, making them unusable. In addition, these materials are also highly viscous, and in some cases there are differences in compressibility between the two components. For these reasons, the options for processing such materials using cartridge systems were previously extremely limited. The new Blueline system changes all this – it opens up a host of totally new possibilities, allowing for the rapid, safe and clean processing of sensitive 2-K materials with the help of cartridge systems.
JEC in Paris
The JEC trade fair is the world’s largest composites exhibition, making it the ideal platform for Sulzer Mixpac to introduce its Blueline system and showcase its entire range of dispensers and cartridge-based application systems.
Blueline – key facts
- For highly viscous materials that are difficult to apply
- For high dispensing rates (threefold increase in dispensing quantity)
- For materials sensitive to pressure and shearing
- Compatible with commonly used MIXPAC dispensers

Klarna has received a favorable ruling in PriceRunner litigation, awarding damages of $1.97 billion1.7.2026 13:19:00 CEST | Press release
Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) today announces that the court has ruled in PriceRunner’s favor, awarding $1.97 billion in damages in an antitrust case brought by PriceRunner against Google. The award compensates for lost revenue caused by Google's preferential treatment of its own comparison-shopping service over independent price-comparison services, conduct that also drives up costs for consumers. "When markets work well, everyone benefits. Consumers get higher quality at lower cost, companies stay focused on serving customers rather than defending position, and society is better off for it. This ruling supports a healthier, more competitive market for the way people compare products and services — and that is good for everyone who shops," said Dan Greaves, Head of Communications and Policy, Klarna. Klarna acquired PriceRunner in 2022 to add rich product discovery, price comparisons, and product reviews to the Klarna app, and drive high-intent traffic to retail partners. Klarna has si
