Sali SILICON GUN (560 gm)

A silicone gun, often referred to as a caulking gun, is a handheld tool used to dispense various types of sealants, adhesives, and caulking compounds from cartridges or tubes. These tools are commonly used in construction, woodworking, and various DIY projects to apply sealants and adhesives in a controlled and precise manner. The specification “560 gm” typically refers to the maximum capacity or size of the cartridge or tube the silicone gun can accommodate.

Key Features:

1. Cartridge/Tube Compatibility: The “560 gm” specification indicates that the silicone gun is designed to accommodate cartridges or tubes with a maximum capacity of 560 grams (or milliliters) of sealant or adhesive. Different guns may be compatible with various cartridge sizes.
2. Trigger Mechanism: Silicone guns feature a trigger that, when squeezed, advances the plunger to dispense the sealant or adhesive. The trigger design varies among different models, and some may have a smooth and easy-to-squeeze trigger for user comfort.
3. Frame Material: The frame or body of the silicone gun is typically made of durable materials like metal, plastic, or a combination of both. The choice of material affects the tool’s longevity and weight.
4. Plunger Rod: The plunger rod is responsible for pushing the sealant or adhesive out of the cartridge or tube. It is connected to the trigger mechanism and should move smoothly to ensure consistent and controlled dispensing.
5. Dripless Design: Some silicone guns are designed to minimize dripping and oozing of the sealant or adhesive after the trigger is released, reducing mess and waste.
6. Built-In Cutter: Many silicone guns come with a built-in cartridge cutter or puncturing tool, allowing you to easily open the cartridge or tube and start dispensing the material.
7. Pressure Adjustment: High-quality silicone guns may have a pressure adjustment feature, allowing you to control the flow of the sealant or adhesive for different applications.
8. Release Mechanism: After use, a release mechanism allows the plunger to retract, stopping the flow of the material and preventing any additional extrusion.
9. Rotating Barrel: Some silicone guns have a rotating barrel, which enables you to maintain a consistent bead angle when applying the sealant, especially when working in tight or awkward spaces.
10. Hanging Hook: A hanging hook or loop on the frame allows you to conveniently store the silicone gun when not in use.
