Use the arcotest\u00ae<\/sup> test inks to quickly and easily test the surface tension<\/strong> of various materials. This enables reliable statements about the adhesive strength of printing dyes, paints and glues on plastic, metal, glass and more substrates.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div> \r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\r\n

Using arcotest\u00ae test inks to determine the surface tension is very simple: Use a test ink with the defined surface tension to draw a short line onto the surface to be tested and observe the line\u2019s behaviour. Just a few seconds later you will have a reliable result in mN\/m (dyne)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To make testing even easier, arcotest\u00ae inks are also available as pens<\/strong>. You can use them like any felt-tipped pen, eliminating the risk of spilling ink.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div> \r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/section>\n\n\n

If you, however, want to quickly assess polyolefins<\/strong>, we have two test ink series for you: QUICKTEST 38\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> and RAPIDTEST 38\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>. Both are available as handy pens and ideally suited to quick testing and sampling. The pen continually displays the test result, simplifying permanent archiving<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div> \r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Safely identify contamination with arcospray\u00ae 38<\/h3>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div> \r\n

You can also use arcotest\u00ae<\/sup> test inks to safely identify contamination<\/strong>. arcospray\u00ae<\/sup> 38<\/a> enables residue-free testing of large and small surfaces for freedom from grease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You make use of the fact that you can assume freedom from grease if the surface tension is 38mN\/m or higher. Within two seconds the spray delivers reliable results and then evaporates without leaving any residue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

arcospray\u00ae<\/sup> 38 is non-toxic and non-harmful for health and the environment.
