Linatex® Premium Rubber Floor Squeegee Blades

About this product

Linatex® heavy-duty, rubber, floor squeegee blades provide well-rounded water pick-up leaving floors clean, dry and safe. Conforming to uneven surfaces and creating a powerful vacuum seal, they have become renowned as the industry’s best squeegee for floor care. Overview Alongside its reliable reputation in the mining industry, Linatex® premium rubber has become a well-known name within the floor care industry. For the past 40 years, we have partnered exclusively with Midwest Rubber Service and Supply Co. (MWR) to provide Linatex® rubber for floor squeegee blades. As a rubber squeegee, Linatex® rubber provides outstanding resilience, strength and resistance to cutting, tearing and abrasion. Compared to other types of rubber floor squeegee blades, it: • Provides well-rounded and superior water pick-up leaving floors clean, dry and safe • Conforms to uneven floor surfaces and • Creates a better vacuum seal It has therefore become an industry-leading heavy-duty floor squeegee. When compared to other rubber floor squeegees, Linatex® rubber floor squeegee blades leave eight times less water on the floor, improving cleanliness and reducing the risk of slipping. Although some companies have tried to replicate Linatex® rubber (by dying their products red to produce a similar-looking red squeegee rubber), nothing beats the real thing.

Features and benefits Naturally Strong Given Linatex® rubber is made from 95% natural rubber, it is a renewable resource with reduced greenhouse emissions. Moreover, less energy is used when producing Linatex® rubber compared to other types of rubber due to our special proprietary manufacturing process. Superior Wet Abrasion Resistance Linatex® heavy-duty, rubber, floor squeegee blades are specifically designed for wet abrasion environments, enduring wear from wet abrasion and wet conditions. Their advanced cleaning performance means reduced rework, labour costs, risk of safety claims and lower costs for maintenance and parts. Reduced Tearing To work effectively, it is important for a rubber squeegee blade to create a tight seal with the floor so that a vacuum system can recover water and suspended soils. If the squeegee blade tears easily, it can break the seal preventing the squeegee from doing an effective job. Linatex® premium rubber holds its shape and resists edge wear and tearing. Greater Flexibility and Reduced Blade Wear Compared to other types of rubber floor squeegees, Linatex® rubber requires less downforce to create an effective seal with the ground. It also conforms well to both rough and uneven surfaces meaning that less machine effort or squeegee blade wear is required when cleaning. Less wear on the squeegee blade ensures that maximum performance can be achieved from the floor squeegee. Why Weir?
