MSDs Dyne test pens KolorguideDyne Test Pens Kit (30-52) Dyne solutions may work well in the lab, but in the shop a more robust device is indicated. Results are based on how long the test solution takes to form beads on the sample surface.Generally, these markers are interpreted based on which dyne level takes closest to two seconds to form beads (similar to the standard ASTM and TAPPI methods). These test markers are easy to use and, when first used, often quite accurate.Dyne pens are a quick and easy way to test the surface energy of materials. Learn more about dyne pens and how to use them for online testing."A Dyne Test Pens Kit  is a tool used to measure the surface energy of a material. Each pencil contains a liquid mixture, which usually contains water, alcohol and a surfactant. It is applied to a surface with a pen-like applicator. The level of wetting or dispersion of the liquid on the surface is used to determine the surface energy, measured in dynes per centimeter (dynes/cm).The surface energy of a material is an important property that affects its adhesion and bonding characteristics. Higher surface energy generally indicates better wettability and adhesion properties. Dyne test pens are commonly used in the printing, packaging, and plastics industries to measure the surface energy of materials such as films, coatings, and adhesives. They are also used to test the effectiveness of corona or plasma treatments on surfaces.The Dyne Test Pens Kit (30-52) Our Kit include special liquid mixtures that allow accurate assessment of the adherence level of a liquid on a plastic surface.These pens are mainly used in laboratories to measure the effects of corona treatment, and they offer a practical alternative to liquid mixtures.Operators handling production lines use them to check if a material has undergone treatment.It's important to note that these pens have a shelf life of six months and should be stored in a cool place.Kolorguide provides high-quality dyne test pens and inks for the film, extrusion, and web converting industries, among others.The kit comprises 12 standard dyne levels formulated from 100% reagent-grade materials. These levels range from 30 through 52 dynes/cm, making it a versatile and reliable tool for professionals.These pens are mainly used in laboratories to measure the effects of corona treatment, and they offer a practical alternative to liquid mixtures.
