Dyne Inks, also known as Dyne Test Inks and Surface Energy Inks are used to measure surface energy of a material in mN/m which is the same as Dynes/cm.
Dyne test inks come in bottles for use with single use swabs – available here for single bottles. These bottles, when used with single use swabs are best used with potentially contaminated surfaces to avoid ruining a pure bottle and prolonging the life and consistency of the the ink.
Inks are manufactured as Type A (ISO8296 Toxic) and Type B (Non Toxic) and are available in even values between 30 and 72 dynes/cm.
Made in accordance to ISO8296, ASTM D2578 and TAPPI T698

Dyne inks in bottles are used as a quick and easy method for measuring surface energy of a material by observing how the ink changes over the surface. If the pens ink beads up like water on a waxed car bonnet, this is a fail. If the ink stays as a solid line, this is a pass.
Available as single bottles, or special priced packs of 6 and 12, you can buy preselected packs or pick your own values.
All Dyne Ink Bottles are 30ml and eligible for free shipping on all test product orders over £100.
Dyne Inks in bottles are best used for measuring surface energy of materials that might be contaminated or oily. The single use swabs ensure that the inks aren’t ruined by contamination. Smaller and easier to use Dyne Pens are also available for clean surfaces.
