Everkem Adds Fixed Nozzle as TruSil 100 Packaging Option

As part of their commitment to customer-driven solutions, Everkem Diversified Products is pleased to announce the addition of fixed nozzle tubes to their TruSil 100 line of Silicone Sealants, thus offering both fixed nozzle and removable nozzle packaging options for the product.

The line was launched with a screw on nozzle which allowed for easy cleaning, storage, and reuse after the product had been opened. It also allows a smaller, precision-focused bead size easier via the nozzle being able to be cut to a smaller bead size and swapped out across multiple tubes.

"We received some great feedback on the removable nozzle from a wide portion of our customer base," Jason Lynch, president of Everkem Diversified Products, said. "But, there are some customers that the removable cartridge is just not a good fit for their applications. After listening to their feedback, we are happy to bring back a packaging solution that met their needs completely. We will still carry TruSil 100 in cartridges with removable nozzles, they aren't going away "we're just adding another option to meet our customer's needs."

Fixed nozzles are preferred by applicators who typically apply caulk in bulk, thus having very little need for storing partially used tubes. Additionally, fixed nozzles allow a larger bead size since the nozzle can be cut closer to the base.

"There are also safety concerns," Mr. Lynch added. "Those who work on ladders, on roofs, or in other high up areas may not have the "free hands" to be able to screw off a nozzle, cut it, screw it back on, and puncture a tube. Most of these individuals make use of the nozzle-cutters built into caulking guns. So, for these individuals a fixed nozzle is not only more convenient, but safer as well. And that's hugely important to us."

Available in several popular colors and mildew resistant options, TruSil 100 is NSF-51 Certified, ensuring that it does not cause food borne illnesses when coming into contact with food and/or beverages - enabling it to be used in and around food processing and storage applications.
