Watts Squeegee offers the widest range of materials to the squeegee market. We have worked closely with our suppliers to create polyurethanes to suit specific applications. Some of our squeegee materials will work in both the floor and screen printing industries, whereas some are currently focused on the individual industries.

These materials can be manufactured in various hardness’ ranging from a 40 Shore A (soft eraser), up to a 72 Shore D (the same as nylon).
