38 Dyne/cm Test Pen (DIN 53364 & ISO 8296) for Standard Adhesion Control
The 38 Dyne/cm Test Pen from Best Dyne is widely recognized as a benchmark level in the plastics and packaging industry. It is commonly used to verify whether a surface has reached the minimum energy required for printing and ink adhesion.
This dyne level is especially important in flexible packaging and label printing, where adhesion failures can directly impact product quality.
Industry Benchmark for Printability
The 38 dyne level is often considered the minimum threshold for ink adhesion on polyolefin surfaces.
- Ensures print quality consistency
- Reduces ink rejection and smearing
- Supports stable production output
Critical for Corona Treatment Validation
After surface treatment, the 38 dyne pen is used to confirm whether the process has been successful.
It helps operators:
- Validate treatment effectiveness
- Detect under-treated areas
- Maintain consistent surface energy levels
Key Applications in Printing and Packaging
- Flexible packaging films
- Label and sleeve production
- Food packaging materials
- Industrial printing lines
Essential Tool for Quality Assurance
The 38 dyne pen plays a critical role in day-to-day production control, helping manufacturers maintain consistent adhesion performance and avoid costly defects.
