Description
Test ink blue, arcotest® 56 mN/m, with brush, Density (D) ~1 g/cm³, Flash point (flp) 40 °C, Boiling point (bp) 135,6 °C, UN-Nr. 1993
Test inks can provide information about the adhesive strength of printing inks, paints and adhesives on all surfaces such as plastic, metal and glass and about the degree of cleanliness in mN/m (dyne/cm).
The test inks are liquids (from 30 to 72 mN/m according to ISO 8296 corresponds to DIN 53364, ASTM D 2587, JISK 6768) with a defined surface tension, which are coloured blue. The surface tension of the material to be tested is determined by simply applying the test inks. They are available in a range from 18 to 105 mN/m surface tension, in bottle or stick form (28 to 72 mN/m). Colourless: 18, 74, 76, 84, 90 and 105 mN/m. Toxic from 24 to 57 mN/m. Result: If the edges of the brush, cotton swab or pencil application contract within 2 seconds, repeat the measurement with the next lowest value. If the edges run outwards, repeat the measurement with the next highest value. The surface tension is reached when the line remains in place for just 2 seconds.
Shelf life 1 year unopened, 6 months after opening. Individual components of the test inks evaporate to varying degrees. Close bottles and pens tightly after use.

Questions about Test ink blue, arcotest® 56 mN/m, Density (D) ~1 g/cm³, Flash point (flp) 40 °C
What is this article?
Test ink blue, arcotest® 56 mN/m, Density (D) ~1 g/cm³, Flash point (flp) 40 °C 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 Produits chimiques.
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 Produits chimiques.
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.
