Popular Polyurethane Squeegee Blades and Profiles

Available Squeegee Blades and Profiles

Square Edge-Molded

Standard angles are 45, 60, and 90 degrees.
The blunt edge is 0.5 mm to 3 mm per customer specification.

Single Bevel Blunt-Single Durometer

Allows for increased squeegee blade angle while maintaining the sharp edge for maximum ink shear of cylindrical substrates. Workswell with higher viscosityinks.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 65A, 70A, 75A, BOA, B5A and 90A hardnesses.
Standard angles are 22.5, 30, and 45 degrees.
The blunt edge is 0.5 mm to 3 mm per customer specification.

Double Bevel-Single Durometer

The sharp edge provides excellent control on printing a wide variety of cylindrical substrates.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 65A, 70A, 75A, BOA, B5A and 90A hardnesses.
Standard angles are 45, 60, and 90 degrees.

Single Bevel-Single Durometer

Conforms easily to irregular surfaces while maintaining excellent ink deposit. Widely used in container printing and with high viscosity inks.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 65A, 70A, 75A, BOA, B5A, and 90A hardnesses.
Standard angles are 22.5, 30, and 45 degrees.

Square Edge-Single Durometer

Our most common polyurethane squeegee profile, used in a wide variety of printing applications on many different substrates. Generally, for more porous substrates, softer durometers should be used. Smoother substrates require harder durometers.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 55A, 60A, 65A, 70A, 75A, BOA, B5A and 90A hardnesses.

Precision Edge-Single Durometer

Designed and developed for transparent UV and the optical disk (CD/DVD) printing industry. Extremely tight dimension and durometer tolerance. Flawless,sharp print edges for clean crisp images without streaking.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 65A, 70A, 75A, BOA, B5A, and 90A hardnesses.

Square Edge-Triple Durometer

The 90A durometer center provides maximum support for the two softer print edges. This is an exceptional tool for screen printing on high mesh counts with elevated screen tensions. This profile excels in printing four-color process work or half-tone jobs on automatic presses.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 60190/60A, 65/90/65A, 70190170A and 75/90175A hardnesses.

Square Edge-Dual Durometer

The 90A durometer backing provides a fully supported polyurethane squeegee that does not flex or rollover with excellent ink shear. The softer print edge allows for good ink deposit.
Available in PT22 and PT15.
Available in 60190A, 65/90A, 70190A and 75/90A hardnesses.

Square Edge-Composite

A soft print tip is bonded to a 90A durometer shaft. This eliminates squeegee blade rollover and squeegee vibration on high speed automatic presses.
Available in 90150A, 90/60A, and 90170A hardnesses.
Not available in all compounds.

Double Bevel-Composite

A soft, sharp print tip is bonded to a 90A durometer shaft. Ideal for printing on cylindrical substrates in high speed printing presses.
Available in 90150A, 90/60A, and 90170A hardnesses.
Not available in all compounds.

Bull Nose-Composite

A soft, round tip bonded to a 90A durometer shaft provides a partially supported polyurethane squeegee with a rounded tip that does not shear the ink off the screen. An exceptional tool for printing puff ink or any job that require a heavy ink deposit on automatic printing presses.
Available in 90150A, 90/60A, and 90170A hardnesses.
Not available in all compounds.

Bull Nose-Single Durometer
