Description
Test ink pen blue, arcotest® 57 mN/m is a ready-to-use surface-energy test pen for efficient assessment of wettability on solid materials. Calibrated to a surface tension of 57 mN/m, the blue test ink helps determine whether a substrate meets a defined dyne threshold before coating, printing, bonding or similar surface processes. A continuous ink film confirms adequate surface energy at or above 57 mN/m, while beading or contraction shows that the value lies below this level. Packaged as a single pen weighing 0,020 kg, it is well suited to routine laboratory checks, process monitoring and incoming inspection. The arcotest® blue format from manufacturer Arcotest provides controlled ink transfer and an unambiguous visual endpoint, enabling consistent evaluation across plastics, films, metals and other technical surfaces. Classification includes UN number 3175. A practical choice for materials testing, packaging development and production quality systems that rely on standardised dyne-level screening without specialised equipment.
This article is part of Test inks & surface tension, in Test kits & water analysis.

Questions about Test ink pen blue, arcotest® 57 mN/m, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Test ink pen blue, arcotest® 57 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.
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.
