Description
Test ink pen pink, arcotest® 43 mN/m is a ready-to-use surface-tension test pen for rapid evaluation of wetting behaviour on solid materials. Set to a defined surface tension of 43 mN/m, the pink ink shows at a glance whether a surface reaches or remains below this value, aiding process control in printing, coating, adhesive bonding and plastics finishing. The pen design enables clean, controlled application without extra glassware, suiting both laboratory routines and in-line production checks. Delivered as one unit with a weight of 0,051 kg, it is compact and convenient for bench or shop-floor use. This arcotest® tool from manufacturer Arcotest is commonly applied to confirm corona, plasma or flame pretreatment performance and to compare surface energy across film, foil or moulded-part batches. Reliable ink flow and the pink colour support fast, reproducible reading of the test result. A practical choice for quality teams seeking a portable method to track surface energy without specialised measuring equipment.
This article is part of Test inks & surface tension, in Test kits & water analysis.

Questions about Test ink pen pink, arcotest® 43 mN/m, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Test ink pen pink, arcotest® 43 mN/m, 1 unit(s) 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.
