Puristusruiskua
Puristusruiskua, also known as a sealant gun or caulking gun, is a tool used to apply sealants and adhesives from a tube or cartridge. These tools are commonly found in households and construction sites for tasks such as sealing gaps around windows and doors, filling cracks, or applying adhesives. The basic design involves a handle that, when squeezed, pushes a plunger or trigger mechanism. This mechanism exerts pressure on the sealant cartridge, forcing the material out of the nozzle. Various types of puristusruiskua exist, ranging from simple manual models to more sophisticated battery-powered or pneumatic versions. Manual guns typically have a trigger and a rod that advances to push the sealant. The amount of sealant dispensed can often be controlled by the pressure applied to the trigger and may include a release mechanism to stop the flow. More advanced models offer features like a drip-stop function to prevent excess sealant from oozing out after the trigger is released. The nozzle of the sealant tube is usually cut at an angle, and its size can be adjusted to control the bead width of the applied sealant. Puristusruiskua are essential for achieving a clean, consistent, and effective application of sealants and adhesives, contributing to both aesthetic finishes and functional sealing properties in various applications.
