Excellent wear and tear resistance The special quality of ACLATHAN minimizes wear at the squeegee edges even with high compression stress. With proper maintenance a substantially superior wear and tear resistance versus conventional squeegee materials (rubber and other plastics) is noticeable. This is also valid for the tearing strength.

A good hint: An especiaily long service life of the squeegees can be achieved if you ailow them a "recreation period" of at least 10 hours after cleaning before the next operation starts.

5 Fundamental remarks as to the choice of the right squeegee * The right squeegee" \Ä~~ Or eve ry applicat IOn ' Quality has got many reasons. Especially in screen printing it is important to use production cornponents which are weil matched according to the application. ACLA offers a comprehensive program of high-grade squeegees for all purposes. They are a dominating factor in the screen printing technique on account of a long experience in. practice. On the other hand, ACLA is always anxious to improve regularly the quajity of its squeegee program by means of a constant dialogue with the technical world, printers, trade, machineproducers etc. Pro bonum pressum - for good printing. Hardness Range Forthe various purposes there are squeegees of ACLATHAN in different hardnesses.

Furthermore we refer to the recommendations of the printing machine manufacturers. * Recommendations without engagement made on account of our knowledge. "medium" durometer For nearly all applications and especially for hand squeegees. "hard" durometer Für fine raster prints, fine-meshed screens and thin ink layers. Suitable for UV-inks. Profile 0: For thick ink layer. The round profile increases the pressure on the ink going through the screen. This profile is recommended for inks with high consistency and for textile printing.
