Do you know the dyne level of your material prior to treating? Key to any surface treatment application is knowing your starting and ending treatment levels. Enercon&#8217;s EnerDyne\u2122 pens provide a quick, safe and simple means of testing surface energy.Unlike traditional dyne pens that are made with toxic solutions such as formamide, EnerDyne\u2122 pens are toxic free making them safe for your operators. They also provide vivid easy to read results on a wide variety of surfaces.EnerDyne\u2122 pens are designed to indicate surface treatment levels on polymer based substrates and establish that the material is correctly treated prior to applying inks, coatings, paints or adhesives. Pens are available in 30\/32\/35\/38\/40\/41\/42\/44\/48\/56\/60\/66 dyne levels.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Read below for more information on how you can use Ener-Dyne\u2122 pens to measure surface energy.

Read the solution behavior by observing the center area of the applied solution. If the dyne solution does not break into droplets and\/or peripheral shrinkage after 4 seconds, repeat the test with the next higher surface tension solution. If the solution breaks into droplets and\/or peripheral shrinkage in less than 4 seconds, repeat test with next lower surface tension solution.<\/li><li>Do not repeat test on the same area of material.<\/li><li>Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the correct dyne level is determined. The correct dyne level will be equal to the solution that holds for exactly 4 seconds before droplets or peripheral shrinkage occur.<\/li><li>As a general guideline surface coverage tension should be approximately 10 dynes higher than ink, adhesive, or coating. This may not be the case for every application.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\n\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\tGeneral Guidelines\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<ul><li>Use of excessive solution will result in a false reading.<\/li><li>Dyne Pens typically have a 6-12 month shelf life.<\/li><li>Each pen is rated for the minimum dyne level that the ink will determine.<\/li><li>Surface energy testing should be conducted immediately after treatment (air plasma, flame plasma, chemical plasma, RF gas).<\/li><li>Treated surfaces are time sensitive and are affected by environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.<\/li><li>Do not touch or contaminate the surface to be tested. Dirty surfaces lose their wettability; therefore clean test level area.<\/li><li>Do not use contaminated or outdated pens.<\/li><li>Store and use pens at room temperature.<\/li><li>The inks should not be exposed to direct light. Therefore keep them closed when not in use. Also, repeated ink exposure to air, will alter the dyne levels. Properly sealed pens prevent this from occurring<\/li><li>Inconsistent or excessive pressure may provide a false dyne level reading<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.enerconind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/02144422\/dyne-pens-product-image.png\" alt=\"EnerDyne\u2122 Dyne Pens\" height=\"678\" width=\"800\" title=\"dyne-pens-product-image\" \/>\n\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\tKEY FEATURES\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEnerDyne\u2122 pens provide easy to read results on all types of surfaces\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Formamide Free!<\/h3>\n\t\t<ul><li>EnerDyne\u2122 pens provide easy to read results on all types of surfaces.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/web-treating\/library-resource\/why-all-films-do-not-treat-the-same\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.enerconind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/02144457\/how-to-troubleshoot-films-when-they-dont-treat-the-same.jpg\" alt=\"How to troubleshoot films when they don't treat the same.\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tTECHNICAL PAPER\n\t\t<h4>Why All Films Don&#8217;t Treat The&nbsp;Same<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Download Now!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home \u00bb Plasma &#038; Flame Treaters \u00bb Dyne Pens EnerDyne\u2122 Dyne Pens Safely test dyne levels.
