arcospray® 38

The arcospray® 38 test ink is a test liquid with a surface tension of 38 mN/m. It has been designed to quickly detect whether the surface is grease-free, as values equal or greater than that mean freedom from grease. After its application, arcospray® 38 can be removed without residue using oil-free clean blower air (compressed air). Tested parts can be used further. Not only large areas, but also very small areas, such as chain links, can be assessed quickly and easily by the arcospray® 38.

• Optimal for very small and large areas 
• Easy to use
• Not toxic
• Not harmful to health
• Not harmful to the environment
• residue-free testing of surfaces
• Simply spray on the arcospray ink
• Ergebnis innerhalb 2 Sekunden sichtbar
• Test non-contact surfaces
