Nordson EFD Introduces Unity HiTemp Disposable Syringe Barrels
December 2, 2015 | Nordson EFDEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Nordson EFD, a Nordson company, the world's leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, introduces Unity HiTemp syringe barrels. These disposable 30cc barrels reduce the downtime and maintenance costs often associated with aluminum barrels commonly used in the pneumatic dispensing of hot melt adhesives.
The barrels are available in two models: a standard HiTemp syringe barrel that withstands 125° C (257° F) for eight hours at up to 87 psi (6 bar) and an Extreme HiTemp syringe barrel that withstands 180° C (356° F) for eight hours at up to 100 psi (7 bar). The standard HiTemp barrels can be used with all hot melt adhesives, including moisture cure polyurethanes (PURs) and silyl modified polymers (SMPs). The Extreme HiTemp barrels can be used with polyamides and other types of hot melts, and block UV light between 200 and 500 nm.
Both models are compatible with all Nordson EFD Optimum® metal dispense tips, adapters, and end caps. An Extreme HiTemp tip cap is available for applications above 125° C.
All Unity syringe barrels are compatible with Nordson's Unity IC Series and Unity PURJet™ 30 dispensing systems, and other standard industry hot melt dispensers.
"Engineered with materials that withstand high temperatures, Nordson EFD's Unity HiTemp disposable syringe barrels for hot melt dispensing offer a better cost of ownership with less adhesive waste than current available options," said Brian Dodier, product manager, Nordson EFD.

With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
