Description
Test ink blue arcotest® 20 mN/m is a blue surface-tension test fluid for assessing wetting behaviour on films, foils and other solid substrates. Set to a defined surface tension of 20 mN/m, it supports dyne-level checks before printing, coating or bonding. The preparation is offered in a 10 ml pack with an integrated brush for controlled application on sample areas. Density is approximately 0,7 g/cm³; flash point is −22 °C and boiling point is 68 °C, with transport classification UN 1993. This arcotest® grade from manufacturer Arcotest is intended for routine quality control in packaging, plastics converting and related laboratory workflows where a clear visual indication of surface energy is required. Operators can apply a thin line or spot, observe film formation or break-up, and compare results against process specifications. Use only in well-ventilated areas with appropriate personal protection, and consult the safety data for handling and storage guidance aligned with flammable liquid practice.

Questions about Test ink blue arcotest® 20 mN/m, with brush, 10 ml
What is this article?
Test ink blue arcotest® 20 mN/m, with brush, 10 ml 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.
