Description
Test ink pink arcotest® 57 mN/m is a specialised surface-energy test fluid supplied with a brush for controlled application on solid substrates. Formulated for rapid assessment of wetting behaviour, it is specified at a surface tension of 57 mN/m and supports quality control of plastics, films, metals and coated surfaces prior to printing, bonding or coating. The pink colouration improves visibility of the applied film and helps operators judge continuous wetting versus contraction. Physical data include a density of 0,8 g/cm³, a flash point of 35 °C and a boiling point of 78 °C, allowing straightforward handling under standard laboratory and production conditions. Each unit contains 10 ml of ink ready for use with the integrated brush applicator. This arcotest® grade from manufacturer Arcotest is widely employed in packaging, automotive and electronics workflows where consistent surface energy verification is required. The compact pack size suits bench-top testing, incoming-goods inspection and process monitoring without bulk storage demands.

Questions about Test ink pink arcotest® 57 mN/m, with brush, 10 ml
What is this article?
Test ink pink arcotest® 57 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.
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.
