Watts Urethane Print Squeegees
At Watts Urethane, we are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Print squeegee blades for screen printing. For over 45 years we have produced dependable and consistent squeegee blades of the highest quality for a wide range of industries and our Print Squeegee blade edges are known to be the best in the industry as a result of our precise linear cutting technology. We have considerable production capabilities for squeegee blades and are proud to offer the widest range of premium value materials and products of any manufacturer globally, exporting to over 80 countries world-wide.
All our products are made at our bespoke manufacturing facility in Gloucestershire in the UK. Our materials are fully compliant to international standards and each material grade characteristic is optimised to perfectly match each particular application. Initial sheets are produced using an advanced computer-controlled centrifuge casting process which are then stored to cure correctly to maintain the highest quality material. Our high precision cutting table then enables us to provide a clinical finished edge to the blades for maximum performance.

Our Squeegee coils are shrink wrapped for protection and easy identification. Once received, we recommend that you, where possible, uncoil them and lay flat, storage should be in a low humidity environment in temperatures between 15 – 30° C and away from sunlight.
Watts print squeegees should not be sharpened or ground as they come with superb and parallel edges. The blade life is increased by having more than one blade to enable ‘rest’ periods (at least 12 hours) for each blade. When re-sharpening is required, our blades with re-sharpen well – allow rest, at least 12 hours, before sharpening. Squeegees should be cleaned immediately with a soft cloth after use and should not be left in solvents to soak.
