Screen Printing Squeegee(Plain Squeegees)-UNITEX MARATHON

Screen Printing Squeegee(Plain Squeegees)-UNITEX MARATHON

Market leading screen printing squeegee
 

Extremely low chemical absorption from modern ink systems

• Eliminates/significantly slows down the risk of squeegee deformation
• Longer print runs and less downtime
• Ultra sharp printing edge that provides exceptional print quality and accuracy
• Consistently sharp printing edge which is capable of depositing printed layers accurately between 70µm and 10µm (microns)
• Reduce ink usage and screen breakages
• Unrivalled quality and industry leading tight dimensional tolerances - every squeegee is physically and mechanically tested
• Consistent quality ennsures the squeegees are fit for purpose every time
• Drastically reduces aadditional printing set-up time that can result from poor quality squeegees
• Exceptional abrasion resistance
• Significantly reducees high squeegee usage and additional downtime that can result from low cost squeegees
• Very cost effective - long predictable squeegee life/significant reduction in scrap

• Unitex Squeegees can offer up to a 47% cost saving on your ink usage
• Independent tests carried out – report available on request
• Cost Versus Benefit

• Electronics
• Graphics
• Textiles
• Glass
• Bottles/Containers
• Solar cells

• Ideal for decorative/personalised printing applications such as textiles, graphics, bottles and containers
• It is made from MDI (Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate) technology. Designed to give superior resistance to degradation by commonly used inks, solvents and monomers used in modern printing processes.
• Low swelling characteristics to solvent cleaners and inks
• Ideal for UV ink systems
• Long squeegee life – good abrasion resistance
• Does not wear screens
• Consistent product quality and tight dimensional tolerances

• A high value finished product demands a high quality squeegee for perfect results and reduced product defects
• Unitex Ulon HP Composite 500/1 (55-60º Shore A) hardness is ideal when a large amount of ink is required onto the substrate with good tip control
• Unitex® Ulon HP 500/4 (70-75º Shore A) hardness when the definition detail is fine

• Unitex Marathon S-Cut and D-Cut squeegees play an important role in meeting the increasing demands on the bottle printer. S-Cut and D-Cut profiles provide the benefit of a sharper edge for an accurate ink deposit, in addition to maximum definition
• For greater tip control use S-Cut and D-Cut profiles with Lan Land indicates a flat tip which is normally 1mm

• For printing graphics the squeegee must have the right amount of flexing to transfer ink correctly through the screen and have good solvent/UV ink resistance. Also, it must be free from surface imperfections and irregularities, especially for high quality graphics
• Typically for high resolution graphics a 75º Shore A (or harder) squeegee is used
• Many printers use the Unitex Marathon Triple 75º Shore A or higher when high print pressure is required to ensure fine detail. As it is a multi purpose squeegee can be used on many different types of machines which cuts down on inventory
• Generally lower hardness squeegees are used for larger

• The CD/DVD industry require squeegees with high durability, close tolerances and a wide range of sizes
• The print quality must be high with maximum definition and machine set up times kept to a minimum
• Unitex Ulon HP and Unitex Marathon are available in a range of sizes, from length 100mm to 3600mm and  width 50mm
• They are both ideal for high speed printing applications and one to five colour processes

• Screen printing can cope with intricate designs on silk through to durable bold prints on a wide range of fabric based substrates. Inks range from water or solvent based pigments and dyes to plastisol types
• Textiles such as T-shirts often require a large amount of ink deposited, so a softer squeegee is required such as Unitex Marathon 60 and 65 Shore A
• For finer meshes, increase the hardness of the squeegee to reduce ink deposited and increase detail
