Dyne Test Pen is an economical, quick, and easy way to measure surface moisture or surface energy. The Dyne Test Pen sometimes referred to as the Corona Test Pen, is a simple method of determining the surface energy of most polymer-based materials. Dynes test solution is often used during plasma surface modification, corona surface treatment, and flame treatment to determine the surface energy level. Cleaning of a substrate, especially within industries such as packaging and converting automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. In smoothly dragging the Dyne Test Pen over the surface of the material, the liquid will either form a continuous film on the surface or be drawn back in droplets. If the d...
Dyne Test Pen is an economical, quick, and easy way to measure surface moisture or surface energy. The Dyne Test Pen sometimes referred to as the Corona Test Pen, is a simple method of determining the surface energy of most polymer-based materials. Dynes test solution is often used during plasma surface modification, corona surface treatment, and flame treatment to determine the surface energy level. Cleaning of a substrate, especially within industries such as packaging and converting automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. In smoothly dragging the Dyne Test Pen over the surface of the material, the liquid will either form a continuous film on the surface or be drawn back in droplets. If the dyne test fluid remains as a film for 3 seconds or more the material shall have the minimum surface energy (dyne level) in mn/m of the ink value. If the dyne test liquid shrinks back into droplets in less than 1 second then the surface energy of the substrate (dyne level) is less than the liquid value. The exact surface energy (dyne level) can be determined by applying a series of increasing or decreasing values to the Dyne test pen. The use of a Mapple Dyne Pen is the quickest & easiest way to know that a plastic substrate has sufficient surface tension wettability for Printing, Coating & Lamination Processes.
