Dyne Level Chart

Dyne Level Reference Guide for Manufacturing Applications

At Lotar LLC, we provide a comprehensive Dyne Level Chart to help manufacturers evaluate surface energy and determine whether a material is ready for printing, painting, coating, gluing, or other adhesion-dependent processes. Surface energy is measured in dynes/cm (mN/m), and higher values generally indicate better wettability and adhesion performance. By comparing test results to recommended dyne levels, manufacturers can identify contamination issues, evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning or surface treatments, and support consistent product quality. Backed by industry-recognized test inks, test pens, and decades of expertise, Lotar helps customers accurately assess surface energy and improve manufacturing outcomes.


Use the Dyne Level Chart below as a quick reference guide to compare surface energy values and better understand your testing results. If you have questions about your results or need help choosing the right test inks or test pens, contact Lotar for expert guidance and personalized recommendations.
