1.Features a single durometer blade with flat bottom
2.Single piece of polyurethane material
3.Designed to balance the squeegee's resistance to all types of different inks
4.Maintains a high resistance to abrasion
5.Features a classic style contoured wooden handle
6.Smooth Hardwood Finish
7.Measurement (Length): 13"
8.Approximately 1.5" of Polyurethane is exposed from the wooden handle
Note: A Durometer Instrument or Gauge was not used to test hardness of these squeegees. The hardness of the material usually falls between 50 and 90 with 50 being the softest and 90 being the hardest. In our opinion these are medium-soft as they are somewhat pliable and if you press your nail into the rubber it will leave an indentation. We would give them a rating of 60, being Medium-Soft.
Package:
Packing size:33 x 10 x 3 cm
Gross Weight: 0.45 kg
Maintenance:
Achieving the best screen printing performance and productivity is greatly dependent on the selection of the correct squeegee for the application and proper squeegee maintenance. 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 dried 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°F). Storage at temperatures below 60°F may show an increase in hardness. 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 decreased printing performance.
