Essential for quality control
This pen is incredibly accurate for checking surface tension on our packaging films. The 38 dyne level is exactly what we needed for our polyethylene substrates.

Standard industry tool
Does the job well. The felt tip is durable and the markings are easy to see against most clear films. Would recommend for any print shop.

Good product, fast shipping
Works as expected for our printing prep. The ink flow is consistent, though I wish the cap sealed a bit tighter to prevent drying out between uses.

Reliable German engineering
We have used ARCOTEST pens for years in our lab. This specific 38 dyne pen gives clear, readable results every time without smudging.

Accurate and consistent
Very satisfied with the performance. It beads up or spreads exactly as predicted by the dyne level, making troubleshooting easy.

Perfect for adhesion testing
Helps us determine if our coatings will adhere properly before full production runs. Saves us a lot of wasted material and time.
Q: What happens if the liquid beads up instead of spreading?
A: If the liquid beads up within 2 seconds, the surface tension of the material is lower than 38 mN/m, indicating that further treatment like corona discharge may be required for proper adhesion.
Q: Do you offer dyne pens in levels other than 38?
A: Yes, we stock a full range of ARCOTEST pens from 18 to 72 mN/m. Please contact us or search our store for the specific dyne level your application requires.
Q: Can this pen be used on metal surfaces?
A: While primarily designed for plastics and films, it can be used on treated metal surfaces to check cleanliness or coating readiness, provided the surface energy falls within the test range.
Q: How long does the ink last once the pen is opened?
A: If the cap is secured tightly immediately after each use, the pen typically remains effective for 6 to 9 months. Improper sealing may cause it to dry out sooner.
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 kept away from eyes and skin. Please refer to the SDS sheet for detailed safety information.
