arcotest® ORGANIC Test Inks

arcotest® ORGANIC Test Inks are special testing liquids in ranges of defined surface tension – in green colour. They were developed to obtain non-toxic test inks that do not require labelling. The application and handling of arcotest® ORGANIC is based on DIN 53364 re. ISO 8296.
ORGANIC Test Inks are label-free according to the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances (EU) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
The arcotest® ORGANIC Test Inks are available in bottles or in pens.

Recommendation:
If the surface is dirty, no test pens should be used, since there could be residual dirt on the test surface, which remains in the felt of the pens and falsifies subsequent values.
For metal surfaces, use test inks with
• Bottles with arcotest® cotton swabs or
• arcoweb
