COF-01 Coefficient of Friction Tester
Background
The coefficient of friction pertains to the friction present between two surfaces. A lower coefficient of friction signifies that less force is needed for sliding to commence, while a higher value indicates a greater force requirement.
The coefficient of friction varies based on the specific materials involved. In the context of packaging film, the coefficient of friction refers to the extent of 'slipperiness' exhibited by the packaging material when in contact with different components of the packaging machine or other materials.
The management of the coefficient of friction holds significance in enhancing performance and mitigating issues during the creation, transportation, and storage of packages.
Numerous factors, such as antiblock additives, corona treatment, antistatic agents, inks, varnishes, and adhesives, can influence the coefficient of friction.
Application
The COF-01 Coefficient of Friction Tester is designed to measure both static and kinetic coefficients of friction for a wide range of materials. These materials include plastic films, sheets, rubber, paper, paperboard, woven and non-woven fabrics, metal-plastic composite belts used in communication cables and conveyor belts, wood, coatings, brake pads, windshield wipers, shoe materials, and tires. The tester can also be adapted or modified to accommodate various other material types and testing standards.
Standards: ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T816, GB 10006
