Spring Steel Squeegees for Epoxy Primers & Floor Coatings
R1,270.75
ROX® Spring Steel Squeegees are professional flooring application tools designed for spreading thin layers of epoxy and urethane primers, smoothing self-levelling cement screeds and applying thin-film floor coatings. Manufactured from high-quality spring steel, the blade provides controlled flex and pressure to help distribute material evenly across prepared concrete and other suitable surfaces.
Available in 300mm and 600mm widths, ROX® Spring Steel Squeegees are suitable for contractors working on concrete priming, thin epoxy applications, feather edging, tight epoxy scraper coats and cement screed finishing. The standing design helps improve application efficiency and reduces the need to work continuously on hands and knees.
Always follow the flooring system manufacturer’s technical data sheet for recommended application thickness, spreading method, coverage rate and working time.

A spring steel squeegee is a flooring application tool with a flexible steel blade used to spread and distribute liquid or semi-liquid coating materials across a prepared surface. Unlike a rigid scraper, the spring steel blade is designed to flex under pressure, helping the applicator control the material layer and maintain a more consistent spread.
ROX® Spring Steel Squeegees are designed for professional flooring applications where controlled pressure and thin material distribution are required. They are particularly useful for concrete primers, thin-film coatings, epoxy scraper coats, feather edging and selected self-levelling cement screed applications.

What is a spring steel squeegee used for?
A spring steel squeegee is used to spread and distribute suitable flooring materials, including solvent-free epoxy and urethane primers, thin-film coatings, tight epoxy scraper coats and selected self-levelling cement screed systems.
Can a spring steel squeegee be used for epoxy primer?
Yes. ROX® Spring Steel Squeegees can spread solvent-free epoxy primers from approximately 50 to 150 microns. Always confirm the correct application method and coverage rate in the epoxy manufacturer's technical data sheet.
Can it be used for urethane primer?
Yes. The spring steel squeegee is listed for solvent-free urethane primers from approximately 50 to 150 microns, subject to the coating manufacturer's application instructions.
Can a spring steel squeegee be used on self-levelling cement screed?
Yes. It is for smoothing self-levelling cement screeds during application. It should be used according to the screed manufacturer's instructions and should not be treated as a replacement for a gauging rake or other specified application tool.
What sizes are available?
ROX® Spring Steel Squeegees are available in 300mm and 600mm working widths, both with a 120mm blade depth.
What is the difference between a spring steel and rubber squeegee?
A spring steel squeegee provides controlled steel-blade flex and pressure for thin material spreading and smoothing. Rubber squeegees are designed for different coating and sealer applications, depending on the blade type and the required finish.
Can it be used for feather edging?
Yes. Feather edging and blending thin coating transitions.
Can it be used after concrete grinding?
Yes. The tool is effective for pushing cement dust after concrete grinding. The surface should still be thoroughly vacuumed and prepared according to the flooring system requirements before coating.
Does the squeegee replace a floor roller or spike roller?
No. A spring steel squeegee is used for spreading and smoothing material. A spike roller is used for deaeration and helping release trapped air from suitable wet flooring systems. The tools perform different stages of the application process.
| Tool | Typical use | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Spring steel squeegee | Controlled spreading and smoothing | Thin epoxy and urethane primers, thin-film coatings, feather edging and selected cement screeds |
| Grey rubber squeegee | Spreading and pulling coating materials | Primers, silica-filled primers, epoxy scraper coats and sealer coats on quartz or flake systems |
| White rubber squeegee | Pulling final clear sealer coats | Thin clear sealer applications and textured or aggregate-scattered systems |
| Gauging rake | Distributing thicker self-levelling materials | Controlled placement of self-levelling systems before final finishing |
