Retail or Wholesale Green silk screen squeegee is made in china
We have 70 Durometers, 80.90 etc depend on your want
1 How to choice the different durometer squeegee
60 durometer is the softest and leaves a minimal ink deposit, its great for very thin ink and water based inks.
70 durometer is by MOST POPULAR AND VERSITIL in the garment industry, its a great general purpose blade for just about everything.
80 durometer provides a stronger force and larger deposit for thick opaque inks.
2 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 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.
3 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.
