Test inks and pens for testing the surface tension

Test inks are fluids for testing the surface tension of foils, plastic parts and various other materials. For this purpose, the ink is applied with a cotton swab, a brush or in pen form, such as a highlighter. With these test equipment’s, our customer has the advantage of receiving a quick and, above all, inexpensive definition of the surface tension of his material.

Functionality

 

The ink is applied to the test piece and observed for 3 seconds.

If the ink stops and wets the surface, the surface tension of the test object is the same as that of the ink used.

If the line contracts, the surface tension of the test object is higher than that of the ink.

If the ink pearls, the surface tension of the test object is lower than that of the ink.
