What is a Dyne pen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the Dyne level test pen is applied to the surface, the liquid will either form a continuous film on the surface or pull back into small droplets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Dyne test fluid remains as a film for 3 seconds, the substrate will have a minimum surface energy of that ink value, expressed in mN\/m (Dynes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyne pens from Dyne Testing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The Dyne Testing Ltd supplied test pen is based on a valve tip applicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principle is simple: keep the testing part of the pen away from the fluid storage part of the pen (in other words, no wicking from the substrate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image demonstrates how that is accomplished; by pressing the tip firmly down, the valve is opened and fresh fluid floods the tip; this flushes it clean, and allows the tester to lightly pass over the sample to accurately determine Dyne level. Results are based on how long the test solution takes to form beads on the sample surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyne Test Pens are available in a range of values from 30 to 70 Dynes\/cm (mN\/m) and are supplied in disposable pens.  The test fluid contained within the pens is to ISO 8296 with additional high visibility dye for easy readings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
