SWED/CUT
MICRONOX II
Improved ink metering for fewer print defects & customer complaints.
SWED/CUT MICRONOX II® | Improvement Class Doctor Blades
MICRONOX® II is our enhanced corrosion resistant alloyed chemistry blade material ideal for more wear resistance in situations with longer running printing and coating applications. It consistently and precisely meters white inks and other coarse structured inks and coatings.
MICRONOX® II is ideal for precise metering of abrasive water and solvent based inks in longer runs requiring precise metering for solids, line work, screens, vignettes, general process printing on envelope, carton, wide web flexible, kraft bags, hot and cold sealing, adhesives, and litho-offset varnish.

Available Blade Edge Profiles
The MICRONOX II® doctor blade is available in the following blade edge profiles.
Microstructure Matters
The MICRONOX II® combines corrosion resistant micro-refined chemistry with physical dimension and extended bevel to combat UV spitting and other similar print defects. It is a top performer for long running printing and coating applications requiring consistent and precise metering.
Compared to standard strip steel, the MICRONOX II® doctor blade’s microstructure is defined by it’s small and evenly distributed carbide particulate which assures slow and even edge wear, low friction, and smooth ink film formation.
For you that means a higher quality doctor blade that reduces the likelihood of common print defects, reduces wear to your anilox rolls, and allows you to run your blades longer.
