Squeegee Blades & Holders
Cutting-edge squeegee blades and holders for PCB / SMT stencil printers
Our comprehensive line of OEM compatible holders and blades was developed using decades of research and technical manufacturing experience. Years of expert craftsmanship ensures superior quality in both standard and custom squeegees options.
Squeegee blade characteristics have an important effect on process control to maximize the printing process. Polyurethane blades satisfy single thickness or stepped stencil applications. Choose harder durometer blades for durable, low abrasion performance with single thickness stencils. Stepped stencil, traditional mesh and emulsion screen printing applications may require a softer durometer blade. Our anodized standard and lead-free holders are manufactured from quality aluminum and plated to strengthen the surface and prevent oxidation. Metal blades sustain higher squeegee pressures and are ideal for boards featuring a mix of large and fine pitch components, or where panel flatness cannot be assured. We also produce premium, economy and lead-free metal blades. Our exclusive Electrolize premium plated metal blades provide exceptional print deposition, uniformity and enhances the overall stable performance in demanding fine and ultrafine pitch printing applications.

Our Proprietary Plating
Hardness · Adhesion · Lubricity · Conductivity · Precision
The Electrolizing® process uniformly bonds a smooth, very dense, pure chromium, non-magnetic, extremely hard (Rc 70/72) proprietary alloy onto our stainless steel base premium metal blades. This alloy provides an unusual combination of bearing properties, remarkable wear resistance, extremely low coefficient of friction and corrosion protection. The smooth sliding properties enhances paste rolling and release as well as aids in cleaning. The plating surface is satin gray in color, continuous, fine grained, adherent, uniform in thickness and appearance and is free of blisters, pits, nodules, porosity and edge build-up. Electrolizing continues to be the leading plating in the electronics industry!
Polyurethane blades
JNJ’s ProEdge brand of high performance polyurethane squeegee blades have a reputation for providing exceptional print deposition and superior quality. Made from the highest grade polyurethane materials, our blades are solvent and abrasion resistant, withstand cracking under repetitive flexing, offer high level impact resistance and have an inherent elastic memory. Unlike molded blades, our precision machined edges are always sharp, resulting in highly accurate printing. Our manufacturing process ensures consistent quality, print reliability and repeatability, dimensional stability and precise thickness control that is required by today’s electronics manufacturers. ProEdge’s tight dimensional and durometer tolerances combined with quality assured defect-free edges provide a product you can depend on. Our experience allows us to be at the forefront of the high demands required by screen printers worldwide. Available standard in 60-90 durometer ~ Shore A scale.
Customize it!
Our in-house engineering capabilities affords us the unique opportunity to meet specific production requirements, including custom durometers, blade edges and dimensions.
Lead-Free Options
With today’s strict regulations in the production of lead-free electronics, our green anodized squeegee holders and labeled metal blades enable easy identification of printing accessories designated for RoHS-compliant applications. JNJ’s Electrolize plated metal blades offer improved compatibility with lead-free pastes, aid in paste release and reduce surface tension to extend the printing life of the blades, as well as the pastes. Our lead-free plating and label option is available for all standard OEM and custom holders and blades.
