Description
QUICKTEST 38® is a ready-to-use arcotest® surface-tension test preparation formulated at approximately 38 mN/m for rapid assessment of wetting behaviour on solid surfaces. Supplied as a 15 ml unit, it supports routine determination of physical surface properties in quality control, coating preparation and materials evaluation. The test liquid is applied to the substrate so that spreading or contraction can be observed, giving a practical indication of whether the surface energy is above or below the stated dyne level. This format is intended for laboratory and production environments where quick, comparative surface-tension checks are required before printing, bonding or finishing steps. The product is offered from manufacturer Arcotest as a single-piece pack with a net weight of 0,023 kg and is classified under UN number 3175. Categories of use include applications focused on the determination of physical properties and surface tension. Handling should follow the associated safety documentation. QUICKTEST 38® provides a compact, clearly specified tool for dyne-level screening without additional instrumentation beyond standard laboratory practice.

Questions about QUICKTEST 38®, arcotest® ca. 38 mN/m, 15 ml, UN-Nr. 3175
What is this article?
QUICKTEST 38®, arcotest® ca. 38 mN/m, 15 ml, UN-Nr. 3175 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Arcotest for laboratory use. It sits in Test inks & surface tension, inside Test kits & water analysis, in Lab chemicals.
A test ink checks the surface energy of a solid: the ink either wets the surface or crawls back. The stated dyne value is the product. It is a surface-treatment check, used on plastics and films, not an assay of a liquid concentration.
A test kit turns a chemical question into a colour, a titre or a reading on a strip, so the operator does not have to assemble the method from separate reagents. A cuvette test is a ready optical cell. A strip is a field reading. The range printed on the kit is the range where the answer means something. Outside it, the kit is silent or wrong. The substances inside are on PubChem. Water measurement traces to NIST.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Test kits & water analysis. The sub-category is Test inks & surface tension. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Cuvette tests (Nanocolor), Colorimetric test kits and Test strips & indicator papers.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
