Pleiger Plastics Company has been an innovative and leading manufacturer of high-performance Plei-Tech® polyurethane screen printing squeegees since 1988 and is a member of the Screen Printing and Graphic Imaging Association International.

When it comes to screen printing, you want to ensure that your squeegee blade is up to the task. That's why we offer Plei-Tech® compounds that are custom formulated to deliver high solvent resistance and excellent abrasion resistance. These compounds work together to create a squeegee blade that maintains its durometer even when faced with aggressive inks. Screen printing squeegees show minimal swelling during the print run and retain their sharp edge longer. The result is continued quality during the screen print run, increasing productivity.

UV, Epoxy, Enamel, Vinyl, and other solvent-based ink systems are incredibly aggressive to squeegee blades. These low-quality screen printing squeegees tend to decrease in durometer, swell, and become dull at an accelerated rate. Not exactly what you want when you're trying to produce high-quality prints, right? That's where our Plei-Tech® screen printing squeegees come in.

Plei-Tech® squeegee blades for screen printing are available in a multitude of configurations and profiles designed to meet the exacting demands of your screen printing application. The correct selection of Plei-Tech® compound, configuration, and profile will result in the most cost-effective solution for your screen printing production.

Whether you need a Plei-Tech® 22 or a Plei-Tech® 15 (Vulkollan®) polyurethane screen printing squeegee blade, we've got what you need. Our top-notch compounds and expertly designed configurations are here to take your screen printing game to the next level.

And here's the best part: by selecting the right Plei-Tech® compound, configuration, and profile, you're not only getting the best performance, but also the most cost-effective solution for your screen printing production. It's a win-win situation!
