Dyne Test Pen With Liquid Solution, Length : 2-3 Inches

What is a dyne test?

Dyne tests measure surface wettability or adhesion. Dyne is used as a unit of force in the milli- newton per meter system of units. When using dyne tests you are capable of measuring surface tension in the units millinewton per meter or dyne per centimeter.

How do I check my dyne level ?

When the Dyne level test pen is applied to the surface, the liquid will either form a continuous film on the surface or pull back into small droplets. If the Dyne test fluid remains as a film for 3 seconds, the substrate will have a minimum surface energy of that ink value, expressed in mN/m (Dynes). Should the Dyne test liquid reticulate or draw back into droplets in less than 1 second then the surface energy of the substrate is lower than that of the liquid itself. The exact surface energy (Dyne level) can be determined by applying a range of increasing or decreasing values of Dyne test pens.
