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.
