Surface energy measurements
Dyne test pens & inks

To obtain optimum adhesion when printing, laminating or coating we need to increase the surface energy of the substrate. Determining this surface energy can be achieved by surface energy test inks or pens, more commonly known as Dyne Inks or Pens. Corona Supplies offers a wide range of Dyne Pens and Inks to measure surface tension. All of our dyne inks and pens are supplied with simple instructions for easy use
