SOLLEX Utility Blade Pro

Sollex Pro 975P trapezoidal utility blade is a professional-grade blade that performs better and lasts longer than most other blades on the market. The blade is specifically designed to cut drywall, gypsum board, carpet, and linoleum used by construction professionals.




SOLLEX Utility Blades Pro Titan

Titanium coated trapezoidal utility blade 975PT 60mm for utility knives such as Stanley 99E 199E - SollexIf you work with flooring, we suggest Sollex Pro Titan 975PT. When cutting floor mats and linoleum, the titanium coating on the blade offers unsurpassed durability. Since the blade's edge is titanium-covered, the titanium shields it from harm prior to edge wear-down. For linoleum flooring, paper, and industrial materials, the long blade Sollex Pro-Titan 975PT is excellent. The Sollex Pro Titan 975PT's blade is unfortunately not the best at cutting drywall. Here the titanium breaks down the plaster and sits on top of the blade's covering like a membrane. The utility blade then thickens and cuts drywall slowly. However, the Sollex Pro Titan is ideal for cutting floor material or paper rolls.




SOLLEX Banzai Blade—the world's sharpest utility blade

For the most abrasive materials—fireproof gypsum, lead sheet, and reinforced flex and fiber-reinforced composite materials — we advise the Banzai 975B blade. Sollex's flagship utility blades are Banzai blades. Most likely the best heavy-duty utility blade you can buy for any kind of standard utility knife produced.

 "Sollex Banzai is the sharpest utility blade I have ever tried," stated a customer in the printing industry. Sollex guarantees that this Banzai blade is the absolute best option for individuals who have the highest expectations for blade durability and performance, given their nearly 100 years of knife development experience.




Shorter All-Purpose Utility Knife Blade

Short but strong blades Sollex 9p 50-52 mm for utility knives, hobby knives, dolphin knives, stanley flooring knivesThe shorter utility trapezoid blade 50 to 52mm long is used when you want a lot of force on a blade edge and when you want to fix the blade as hard as possible in your handle. There are three general users of short trapezoid blades: floor installers, safety knives and industrial machines. Floorers use short straight knife blades to cut folds and to be able to cut smaller cuts in plastic and linoleum carpets. With the short robust design of the knife blade, maximum stability is given in the blade and the blade can be fixed tightly so that the gap for the knife blade is minimal. By that you get a very stable and robust grip on your blade. Some safety knives use short trapezoid blades such as 9H with a large hole, mainly because they are less pointed but at the same time give similar properties as ordinary knife blades in a universal knife. For mounting in machines, the short straight knife blade provides robust and stable cutting properties when a more robust blade is preferable compared to industrial razor blades.




Material to Cut with Utility Knife Replacement Blades

Trapezoid utility blades are mainly used to cut carpets, plastics, cardboard, construction, and packaging materials. These universal knife blades fit most common construction knives and utility knives. Thanks to the 2-3 mounting jacks, you can relatively easily adjust how far the knife blade should protrude from the handle. 

HummerGlide for cutting plasterboard - Sollex Construction Knife 2000 - Sollex.seThese utility blades are used by floor layers and craftsmen to cut:

  •  carpets
  • felt and roofing felt
  • laminate
  • fabric, non-woven
  • cardboard and packaging

For industrial use, it is usually used in a machine that cuts plastic of a harder nature.




Coating on the Cutting Edge of Utility Blade

Sollex 9PT and 9-065-T carry titanium carbide on the blade edges. This means that a very thin layer of titanium covers the blade’s edge. The titanium protects the edge against abrasive wear and tear. The titanium is much harder than the steel, which gives good flexibility in the steel with high hardness on the cutting edge. For the right material, it means longer blade durability and retained sharpness.

The exception is if you cut gypsum boards, then the titanium tears the gypsum, which then sticks more easily to the titanium coating. So if you are going to cut plaster, you should choose article: 975P or 975B.




Sollex Recommends the Following Utility Blades

To cut carpets, felt, laminate, fabric, cardboard and cardboard, we strongly recommend that you use our knife blade or trapezoidal knife blade 9PT and 975P, 975PT.
