Accurate and durable
I have been using Dyne pens for years, and this brand holds up well. The markings are clear, making it easy to determine the exact dyne level of the substrate.

Decent but cap fits loosely
The testing fluid works as expected, but the cap on my unit felt a bit loose, which worries me about long-term storage without evaporation.

Essential for our quality control lab
We use these pens daily to verify surface energy on packaging films before printing. The ink flow is consistent, and the results are reliable compared to our liquid test kits.

Standard industry tool
Exactly what we needed for our ISO compliance checks. Easy to use, no mess, and provides immediate visual feedback on surface cleanliness.

Good value, fast drying
Works well for quick checks on corona-treated polyethylene. The only minor issue is that the tip can dry out if left uncapped for more than a minute, so be careful.

Perfect for adhesive testing
Our team uses these to ensure surfaces are clean enough for high-strength adhesives. It saves us time and prevents bond failures in production.
Q: Can this pen be used on curved surfaces?
A: Yes, the flexible tip allows for application on slightly curved surfaces, though flat surfaces provide the most accurate and readable results.
Q: What is the shelf life once the pen is opened?
A: Once opened, the pen should be used within 6 months if stored properly with the cap tightly sealed. Unopened pens have a 12-month shelf life.
Q: How do I know which dyne level pen to purchase for my specific plastic?
A: You should select a pen with a dyne level slightly higher than the required surface energy for your adhesive or ink. We recommend testing with a range pack first to identify your baseline.
Q: Do you offer bulk discounts for laboratory purchases?
A: Yes, we offer tiered pricing for orders of 10 units or more. Please contact our sales department directly for a custom quote.
Q: Is the ink toxic or hazardous?
A: The ink contains formamide and other solvents. It should be used in a well-ventilated area, and direct skin contact should be avoided. Please refer to the SDS sheet for full safety details.
