Ink Adhesion Testing
Free adhesion testing on customer sample parts.
If the surface tension of a substrate is lower than the surface tension of the ink, the ink will not stick. EPS tests both — using dyne kits and physical adhesion testing — to recommend the right ink chemistry and pre-treatment for your part.
- Surface energy testing using dyne kits
- Adhesion testing across multiple ink chemistries
- Pre-treatment recommendations — plasma, corona, flame, jettable primers and manually applied
- Imprinted sample parts returned to you (if requested)
- Technical report with recommendations and comprehensive data to include potential throughput capabilities and exact ink consumption calculations
- Consultation with EPS engineering and chemistry teams
