Need Surface Energy Kit

I would like to know information about "surface energy kit". We use it to find out condition of body surface molded by thermosetting resin,before we mark by ink. We have a surface energy kit "ARCOTEC".This is a pen type, 8 ea/set. The unit of a kit is dyne/ßþ, a kit gets a value of to 44 from 30. We want to get a value under 30. If you deal with a surface energy kit, please send me a information about price, feature,and how to use of it.

I understand the problem. We manufacture a broad range surface energy test kit that spans from 22 to 70 dynes.

There is a danger in pen-type surface energy tests. The fluid in the pens is a powerful solvent. If it disposes contamination on the surface, it is absorbed into the pen. This will lead to faulty reading from there and into the future.
