Test Inks
For testing the surface tension
To determine the cleanliness of surfaces
Test Inks can make statements on the adhesive strength of printing inks, coatings and adhesives on all surfaces such as plastic, metal and glass as well as on the degree of cleanliness in mN/m (dyne/cm).

arcospray® 38
The arcospray® 38 test ink is a test liquid with a surface tension of 38 mN/m. It has been designed to quickly detect whether the surface is grease-free, as values equal or greater than that mean freedom from grease. After its application, arcospray® 38 can be removed without residue using oil-free clean blower air (compressed air). Tested parts can be used further.
Not only large areas, but also very small areas, such as chain links, can be assessed quickly and easily by the arcospray® 38.

Testing of a polyolefin film for 38mN/m
RAPIDTEST 38® serves to check if the treatment of polyolefins (polypropylene, polyethylene, polybutylene) has shown an effect onto the material. A stroke of the pen leaves a full line on thematerial if thematerial’s surface tension has a value of 38mN/m or more. The fluid applied to the surface will dry within seconds, it does not need to be wiped off anymore.
