Lab Testing Equipment Coefficient of Friction Tester for pPE/LTPE/OPP/ PVC/ PPT/BOPP

Background

Understanding the coefficient of friction is crucial in evaluating the interaction between different surfaces. In packaging, it directly impacts the efficiency of processes like stacking, cartoning, and palletization. A lower coefficient suggests smoother movement, while a higher one implies more resistance. Managing this factor is paramount for optimizing packaging performance throughout production, transit, and storage.

Application

Our COF-01 Coefficient of Friction Tester is engineered to precisely measure static and kinetic coefficients of friction across a wide array of materials. From plastic films to rubber, paper, and metal-plastic composites, it ensures accurate assessments essential for various industries including packaging, automotive, textiles, and more.

Standards

Our tester adheres to industry standards such as ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T816, and GB 10006, ensuring reliable and consistent results for your testing needs.

Formula

The coefficient of friction (COF) is calculated by dividing the force required to move one surface over another by the perpendicular force. It encompasses both static (μs) and kinetic (μd) coefficients, each offering distinct insights into material behavior crucial for packaging design and production.
