What Makes LINATEX  Special?

linatex premium rubber

LINATEX premium rubber is made with 95 percent natural latex and exclusive manufacturing processes. The result is a material with ideal properties for use in floor squeegees.

  • 95% Natural Rubber
  • Excellent abrasion resistance in wet applications
  • Tear resistance ensures constant vacuum pressure
  • Superior water pick-up and dry time performance
  • Flexibility provides constant seal to profiled floor surfaces
  • Applied to front, rear and side squeegees

While other materials have some of the desired properties for use in floor squeegees, LINATEX meets more of those criteria than any other rubber. It stands alone in the marketplace. 

 

Comparative Qualities

LINATEX exhibits outstanding resilience, strength and resistance to cutting, tearing and abrasion. It’s the most well-rounded of materials for floor care.

comparative qualities

 

Wet Abrasion Resistance

Rubber used in a floor squeegee endures wear from both abrasion and wet conditions. Excessive wear means diminished machine performance, and higher costs for both labor and materials

 

 

Tear Strength
A squeegee must create a seal with the floor so the vacuum system can recover water and suspended soils. Any tearing will break that seal and keep the squeegee from doing an effective job.

Flexibility

High modulus can create noise, vibration, and streaks of water where the rubber did not seal to the floor. LINATEX requires less downforce to create an effective seal, which reduces machine effort and squeegee blade wear.

  • Lower Greenhouse Emissions
  • Energy-reduced Manufacturing Methods

 

Performance + Productivity = Profit

Better cleaning performance means less rework—and lower labor costs, reduced risk of safety claims, and lower costs for maintenance and parts. That’s why we recommend LINATEX squeegees and skirts for use with your floor scrubbers.

LINATEX contains more natural latex than most rubber squeegees. A specialty rubber made through a unique manufacturing process, LINATEX is specifically designed for wet abrasion environments. It holds its shape well, and resists edge wear and tearing. It conforms well to rough or uneven surfaces, improving water pick-up.

Dry Floors are Safe Floors

85% of workers’ compensation claims are due to employees slipping on slick floors.

Water left by a floor cleaning machine can contain soils, debris, and soap residue. That creates a hazard for anyone who uses the floor. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, slip-and-fall accidents cost billions of dollars each year in medical expenses, insurance payments and lost productivity. A cleaner floor is safer, brighter, and more pleasant to use.
