- Description Description Squeegee Blade Roll 3.7m length , 9mm width x 50mm height Squeegee Blade available in 3 different types. Screen Print World is proud to now sell the best squeegee blade in the industry. Our compounds are custom formulated to achieve high solvent resistance and excellent abrasion resistance. This combination results in a squeegee blade that will better maintain its durometer when subjected to aggressive inks and solvents, show minimal swelling during the print run, and retain its sharp edge longer, allowing for continued quality during the screen print run, thereby increasing productivity. UV, Epoxy, Enamel, Vinyl and other solvent based ink systems are extremely aggressive to squeegee blades. Inferior quality squeegees tend to: decrease in durometer, swell, and become dull at an accelerated rate due to their inability to resist the harsh solvents and abrasion against the stencil. Screen Print world squeegees are recommended because of their chemical resistance and exceptional abrasion resistance when exposed to aggressive ink systems. When printing, monitor production time and rotate squeegees frequently. (The necessary rotation frequency is dependent on the ink / solvent system involved in the application) By doing so, you will achieve a more uniform print quality and increase the life of your squeegees. A squeegee should always be wiped clean and dry following removal from the press and stored in a dry environment at room temperature. The blade should be allowed to recover from the ink and solvent attack and rest for a period of 24 hours. It can then be placed back into production, or if necessary re-sharpened and placed back into production. Storage Polyurethane squeegees should always be stored flat in a dry (50% Relative Humidity) environment at room temperature. (approximately 60-70 degrees F) Storage at temperatures below 60 degrees F may show an increase in durometer. This increase has no influence on the physical properties or the performance of the polyurethane. Under these storage conditions, the shelf life of the squeegee is approximately one year. Older squeegees often show increased printing performance squeegee information Clear (soft) – 55 durometer Red (medium) – 65 durometer Green (hard) – 75 Durometer More information If you would like more information then please give us a call on 0044 (0) 1562 829009 or use our Webchat or Email
