In a dyne test, wetting tension liquids are spread over a film surface to determine printability, coating laydown, and heat salability of treated films. Solutions of increasing wetting tensions are applied to the polymer film until a solution is found that just wets the polymer surface.
Dyne Testing Pens are a cost effective, quick and easy method to measure surface wetting or surface energy. Sometimes known as corona test pens, the Dyne Test Pen is a simple method of determining the surface energy of most polymer based materials.
