Permalex® is a multi-step metallurgical bonding process which produces a smooth, durable metal squeegee with a hard, low-friction edge designed to prevent stencil wear. Permalex Edge Metal Squeegees contain a unique base alloy and our special Permalex coating to provide superior performance.

Note the scavenging, pumping and deformation to the solder deposit as a result of using rubber blades.

Permalex blades avoid the common scavenging and deformation to solder paste deposits with a superior design.

This diagram (courtesy of Intergraph Corporation) shows solder deposits made with a standard polymer squeegee. The diagram clearly shows uneven dog-bone deposits resulting from scooping and scavenging.

Permalex Edge Metal squeegees eliminate pumping and scavenging improving solder paste deposit quality. The smooth lubricated edge reduces stencil pulling and stretching, improving pad registration and stencil life.
