Abstract:
A method of mixing two fluid materials, comprising the steps of:urging a viscous material to flow forwardly through an applicator in a flow path along a longitudinal axis;urging a catalyst material to flow through the applicator for mixing with the viscous material;directing the catalyst material within the applicator for introduction centrally in the flow path of the viscous material, and dividing the catalyst material from centrally within said flow path into a discrete plurality of radially outward flow paths extending radially with respect to said axis; anddirecting the flow of viscous material at the plurality of radially outward flow paths of catalyst for mixing therewith, and dividing the flow of viscous material into a discrete plurality of flow paths that are contiguous with the radially outward flow paths of the catalyst and extend coaxially with respect to said axis, each of said plurality of flow paths being located between two of said radially outward flow paths of the catalyst.
