The Newborn DR100N dual- component variable ratio adhesive applicator, also called a two-part or two-component applicator, can accommodate 200 mL epoxy cartridges in ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 and has a thrust ratio of 18:1 for use with high viscosity materials The easy-release gripping plate facilitates the changing of cartridges, and the cartridge stabilizing plate provides extra support for the cartridge.

Caulking guns, also called caulk or cartridge guns, dispense a controlled flow of products such as caulk, sealants, and adhesives from a tube or cartridge. A manual caulking gun consists of a frame which holds the tube, a trigger, and a rod which moves forward when the trigger is depressed, dispensing the product. Manual caulking guns have a thrust ratio; the higher the thrust ratio, the easier it is to dispense the caulk, sealant, or adhesive. Air-powered or pneumatic caulking guns also have a frame and a trigger, but are used with an air pressure regulator that pushes the product from the tube using air pressure instead of a rod.
