Description
Test ink blue arcotest® is a multi-grade surface-tension test set covering 28, 35, 38, 41, 44, 48 and 56 mN/m for stepwise evaluation of wetting behaviour on solid surfaces. By applying successive grades with the supplied brush and observing film continuity or break-up, users can bracket the surface energy of plastics, films, metals and coated parts before painting, laminating or adhesive processes. The combined 70 ml presentation provides a practical working volume for laboratory series testing and production quality checks. This blue-series assortment from manufacturer Arcotest supports comparative surface characterisation without requiring separate single-grade bottles for each tension level. The brush applicator enables thin, controlled films and economical consumption during routine screening. Transport classification includes UN number 1993; handle and store in line with applicable regulations and always consult the safety data sheet before use. Ideal for workflows that need several defined mN/m references in one convenient pack.

Questions about Test ink blue, arcotest® 28 35 38 41 44 48 56 mN/m, with brush, UN-Nr. 1993
What is this article?
Test ink blue, arcotest® 28 35 38 41 44 48 56 mN/m, with brush, UN-Nr. 1993 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?
