Our Square-Edge, composite squeegee is offered as a soft tip that is bond to a 90 durometer base.  This eliminates blade rollover and squeegee vibration on high speed semi-automatic and automatic presses.  For our web site we feature the 90/70 combination however, 90/50 and 90/60 combinations are available by contacting us at sales@screenworkssupply.com or simply by calling us at 1-800-551-5524.

As with all polyurethane squeegee they 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. Our textile/graphic squeegee will darken in color when exposed to UV and fluorescent light at a slow rate. This change in color does not effect the physical properties or the ink / solvent resistance of the polyurethane. 

Achieving the best screen printing performance and productivity is greatly dependent on the selection of the squeegee for your textile/graphic application and proper squeegee maintenance. When printing, monitor production time and rotate squeegees frequently. (The necessary rotation frequency is dependent on the ink involved in the application, plastisol, water-based, UV or solvent-based) 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.
