Squeegees and Skirts For Any Surface

Squeegee Blades

Linatex Squeegee Blades

Linatex^® premium rubber is made with 95 percent natural latex and exclusive manufacturing processes. The result is a material with ideal properties for use in floor squeegees. Linatex contains more natural latex than most rubber squeegees. A specialty rubber made through a unique manufacturing process, Linatex is specifically designed for wet abrasion environments. It holds its shape well, and resists edge wear and tearing. While other materials have some of the desired properties for use in floor squeegees, Linatex® meets more of those criteria than any other rubber. It stands alone in the marketplace.

Linetex is red in color, but unless it has the word Linetex stamped on the blade, you might be paying too much for an imitation of this great product.

Genuine PREMATEK™ Rubber Squeegee Blades

Engineered from Natural Rubber using advanced technology to perform as good as or better than Linatex®. Excellent tear resistance.

Ideal environment: Excellent results in many conditions, especially uneven and abrasive surfaces.

Gum Rubber Squeegee Blades

A man-made synthetic that is typically beige or tan, Gum Rubber squeegees offer maximum water collection on indoor floors that are smooth and even. Gum Rubber is not recommended for use in oily environments as it absorbs oil, which changes its structural integrity and dramatically reduces its effectiveness. Gum Rubber squeegees will wear faster than any of the other types of squeegee blades but are usually the least expensive.

Ideal environment: General purpose. Smooth, even floors with light traffic. Indoors.

Urethane (Polyurethane) Squeegee Blades

Urethane squeegees are amber or opaque in color. They are extremely chemical-resistant and perform well in environments where oil or chemicals are present. Urethane squeegees are the best for use on rough surfaces and on old or uneven floors. They are typically the most expensive blades, but due to their excellent wear life, offer a great value.

Ideal environment: Applications that require oil and chemical resistance. Rough surfaces.

Neoprene Squeegee Blades

Neoprene was the first material introduced specifically for use in oily environments but has been replaced in many cases by Urethane. It is still a very cost-effective material for oil resistant applications.

Ideal environment: Applications that require oil and chemical resistance but where price is a factor.
