About Surface Measurement

Collapse

Dyne Testing logoOur sister brand Dyne Testing supplies a complete range of surface energy measurement equipment & systems for the determination of wetting characteristics of solid materials. For optimum adhesion when printing, gluing, painting or coating on various substrates, it is necessary to have a high surface energy.

The strength of attraction between a material and a coating is determined by the relative surface energy/surface tension of the materials. The higher the solid’s surface energy relative to the liquid’s surface tension, the greater the molecular attraction, this draws the paint, ink or adhesive closer for high bond strength. The lower the solid’s surface energy relative to the liquid’s surface tension the weaker the attractive forces are and this will repel the coating.

Determining the surface energy can be easily achieved by measuring contact angle or by use of Surface Energy Test Pens or Inks (Dyne level testing). We supply a range of surface energy measurement equipment; Dyne Test Pens, Test Pen 38 Dyne, Dyne Test Inks, Drawdown Test Equipment, and Contact Angle Meters.

Check out the full range of Surface Measurement instruments on Dyne Testing’s website.

Surface Energy Instant Test Pen – 38 Dyne

The Instant Test Pen – 38 Dyne allows you to measure the surface energy of your material. One quick test will identify if the surface is treated to a level of 38mN/m (Dynes/cm) or higher

Dyne Test Pens – surface energy measurement

Dyne Test Pens are a quick, easy, and cost effective way to measure surface wetting or surface energy. Sometimes known as corona test pens or sherman pens, the Dyne Test Pen can be used to determine the surface energy of most polymer-based materials.
