Description :
Squeegee is also called scraper, it is one kind of tool that used to scratch the ink on the screen to make it leak to the substrate. Use for both graphic and textile applications, for all hand printing and many machine applications. It can be classified into either rubber or metal type.
These squeegees are Kiln-dried and precision cut lumber is used for the no-warp handles, which are smooth, comfortably shaped and easy to handle, helping in eliminating any symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Blades are molded under high heat and pressure and have a tensile strength of more than 2,000 lbs. This eliminates ink streaking and provides a superior long-lasting printing edge.
Features :
● Features a single durometer blade with flat bottom.
● Single piece of polyurethane material.
● Designed to balance the squeegee's resistance to all types of different inks.
● Maintains a high resistance to abrasion.

Note:
A Durometer Instrument or Gauge was not used to test hardness of the squeegee.
The hardness of squeegee material usually falls between 50 and 90 with 50 being the softest and 90 being the hardest.
In our opinion these are medium-soft as they are somewhat pliable and if you press your nail into the rubber it will leave an indentation.
We would give this a rating of 60, being Medium-Soft.
