INTERTRONICS launch Permalex Squeegees to improve printing with lead-free paste

The transition to lead-free solder pastes and a lead-free environment will push all equipment and materials to a higher level. INTERTRONICS offer the range of Permalex Metal Squeegees that are suitable for and enhance all common printer (Plate 2).

Plate 2 Permalex Metal Squeegees are infused with a polymer lubricant

Permalex Metal Squeegees are infused with a polymer lubricant which reduces friction and stencil wear. Permalex can also eliminate the sticking which is typically seen on conventional metal squeegees when using lead-free solder paste. As the industry moves towards lead-free, Permalex Squeegees become vital to the printing process.

These long life squeegees have proven to enhance stencil/screen printing process and are a significant advancement over polymer and low quality metal squeegee technology. Permalex squeegees improve printing yields, reduce defects, and reduce machine maintenance. Customers have shown better CPK indexes, reduced cross/parallel variation, and better overall process performance.
