| PTFE Replacement belting | | Company: Taconic Click to view Company WebSite | | Taconic manufactures each of its TFE-GLASS™ and SRC-GLASS™ belts to custom specifications, depending on each customer’s individual needs. To help determine the best belt for your unique application, an experienced customer service representative is always on hand to discuss your requirements.
Choosing the Right Material
There are a number of factors to keep in mind when choosing the belting material for your application:
Temperature Range – Both our TFE and SRC-GLASS™ fabrics have the capabilities of withstanding -100°F - +500°F constant operating temperatures.
Pliability – If the material is to track around pulleys that drive the belt, the diameter of the pulley is critical. The smaller the roller the more flexible the belt must be. Taconic’s thinner materials (0.010” and under) are more pliant that the heavier coated fabrics.
Release Qualities – The surface finishes of our materials range from a rough, semi-porous finish to a super smooth surface. The release or fabric impression results desired will be a determining factor.
Strength – Options to be considered are breaking, tensile and tear strength. How much of a load the belt carries, how fast it moves and how tightly it will be tensioned all must be considered. |

| Squeegee Cutter | | Company: Thieme Corporation | | The new THIEME TSC G2 squeegee cutter - highest precision for small formats
The advantages at a glance:
fast and clean, no grinding dust
improved print quality
long durability of the squeegee edge, higher production rate
versatile due to an adjustable cutting edge
single- and double-sided cutting angles (V-shaped)
attractively priced
The TSC G2 from THIEME has been specially developed for high quality graphic screen printing; for high tech industrial applications and the special squeegee angle requirements needed for textile printing.
The well proven THIEME Rotankife® wet-cutting process with it’s practical ease of operation, is responsible for the perfect squeegee edge and for optimum print quality in a single cutting operation.
The razor sharp, rotating blade removes a very thin strip of rubber (approx. 0.8 mm) thus, greatly reducing squeegee consumption. The high quality of the squeegee edge is guaranteed by a specially developed coolant, which evaporates without leaving and residue. |

| Squeegees | | Company: Pleiger Plastics Company Click to view Company WebSite | | Pleiger Plastics Company has been an innovative and leading manufacturer of High Performance Plei-Tech® polyurethane screen printing squeegees since 1986 and is a member of the Screen Printing and Graphic Imaging Association International. Our Plei-Tech® compounds are custom formulated to achieve high solvent resistance and excellent abrasion resistance. This combination results in a squeegee blade that will better maintain its durometer when subjected to aggressive inks and solvents, show minimal swelling during the print run, and retain its sharp edge longer allowing for continued quality during the screen print run, thereby increasing productivity.
UV, Epoxy, Enamel, Vinyl and other solvent based ink systems are extremely aggressive to squeegee blades. Inferior quality squeegees tend to; decrease in durometer, swell, and become dull at an accelerated rate due to their inability to resist the harsh solvents and abrasion against the stencil. Plei-Tech® squeegees are recommended because of their chemical resistance and exceptional abrasion resistance when exposed to aggressive ink systems. Pleiger Plastics Company currently manufactures a Plei-Tech® 22 and Plei-Tech® 15 (Vulkollan®) polyurethane screen printing squeegee.
Our Plei-Tech® 22 is excellent for most screen printing applications and is color coded for easy durometer reference by the printer. Standard Durometers and Colors for Plei-Tech® 22 are:
55A, Green
60A, Orange
70A, Yellow
75A, Green
80A, Blue
85A, Red
90A, Natural
Plei-Tech® 22 exhibits very good solvent resistance and excellent abrasion resistance.
Our Plei-Tech® 15 (Vulkollan®) is manufactured for those aggressive screen printing applications that demand the superior performance of this premium product. Plei-Tech® 15 (Vulkollan®) is Amber which will darken with age and exposure to UV and fluorescent light. Standard Durometers for Plei-Tech® 15 are: 60A / 70A / 75A / 80A / 85A / 90A.
Plei-Tech® 15 exhibits excellent solvent and abrasion resistance.

| UV Process Supply | | Company: UV Process Supply, Inc. Click to view Company WebSite | | UV Process Supply, Inc. founded in 1979 with the goal to service the growing UV Curing market. At that time there were only companies producing UV coatings and Inks, and UV Curing equipment. The realization was that it took more than these two components to do a “process”. What else is needed to create a successful application? With that five product categories were created to address the problems associated with the physical properties of the process.
Safety Products was the first category, and hand cleaner was the first product. Most waterless hand cleaners are made with mineral sprits, and that solvent used with acrylates can lead to skin problems. We created a waterless hand cleaner that was oil based rather than solvent based. Next was our skin lotion, which contains aluminum hydroxide able to neutralize the acrylic acid based coatings. Gloves were all tested with the most popular monomers to insure that they would provide proper protection when used with clean up solvents. Thus we do not carry vinyl gloves as they do no not provide proper protection with UV Coatings and inks. Barrier creams were a natural requirement as they present additional protection especially around finger nails and under rings, where inks might collect unnoticed. In the area of eye protection, all products are rated based on the ability to filter UV light. Even our splash goggles filter UV as to always insure optimum protection.
Ink and Coating Handling is our second category and represents two features associated with the process. First is safety related; that if you can pump the coating, there is less physical contact with the material that can cause a problem. We learned to specify the proper pumps for UV Curing from customer experience. They learned that if they were using a piston pump, it would seize, when the friction of the piston would cause minute polymerization on the interior wall of the pump. So the pumps need to be either double diaphragm pumps or peristaltic. All wetted parts in the pump product line has |
