COMPATIBILITY
Typical UNITEX MARATHON squeegee applications

Technical recommendations:
• For printing graphics, the squeegee must have
the right amount of flexing to transfer ink correctly
through the screen and have superior UV/solvent
ink resistance. Also, it must be free from surface
imperfections and irregularities, especially for
high quality graphics. Typically for high resolution
graphics UNITEX MARATHON 75º Shore A (or
harder) squeegee is used
• Many printers use UNITEX MARATHON Triple
Durometer squeegees when higher print pressure
is required to ensure fine detail. As it is a multi-
purpose squeegee, it can be used on many
different types of machines; thereby lowering
inventory of multiple squeegees
WHO: Large Volume Screen Printer

edge. This resulted in excessive waste and downtime.
They approached Trelleborg for a solution.
