Dyne Testing

The Dyne Test is performed to determine the ability of packaging materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene films to fix inks, coatings or adhesives. Dyne Test can be defined as the surface energy measurement of packaging materials. It is the fastest and easiest way to measure surface energy.

Dyne tests are performed using droppers or pens containing liquids with a range of surface energies. With Multiple Dyne Tests, the correct range of surface energy of a material can be determined. If the liquid beads immediately during the Dyne Tests, it means that the surface energy is less than that of the liquid. With the Dyne Test, the surface energy can be measured as well as the adhesion potential of that surface.

Dyne Tests to measure surface wettability or adhesion measure surface tension in millinewtons per meter or dyne per centimeter.
