ORA supply a range of squeegee edge profiles, In addition to the 
common square edge there are a variety of single and double bevel 
profiles that fulfil various mechanical and printing

given its own reference G1, G2 etc 
G1


G1
Square edge 90 deg blade is used for a wide range of graphic and textile 
printing applications where a high ink deposit is required. Suitable for 
manual and automatic printing.

This double bevel edge blade (60 & 45 deg) provides excellent control for 
direct printing onto cylindrical surfaces and irregular forms, also fine 
print for textiles.    
 
 
 
G6 
G6
Square edge Composite Triple hardness blade gives the printer the 
responsiveness of a soft to medium hard blade without the undesired 
flexing created by increased secondary force squeegee pressure. 
Excellent for printing on high mesh counts (120/140 threads/cm) 
with high tension..    
 
  
SOLVENT SWELLING

Although polyurethane is generally recognised as being highly resistant 
to solvents, it is nevertheless recommended that where necessary, samples 
of less common solvents be supplied for evaluation in our laboratory to 
enable us to supply the most suitable grade. Resistance to solvent 
swelling is increased as polyurethane hardness increases. All polyurethanes 
will absorb solvents to some degree. However, what is most important is the 
ability of the polyurethane to resist edge breakdown when subjected to solvent 
ingression.
