The coefficient of friction (COF) test is a vital procedure used to evaluate the sliding characteristics of paint films or painted panels. This test measures the force required to slide one surface over another, providing critical insights into the frictional properties of coated materials. Such tests are essential for applications in industries like automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics, where surface interaction can significantly impact performance and durability. Why Test the Coefficient of Friction? Surface Performance [...]

Medical gloves are disposable gloves used during medical examinations and procedures that help prevent cross-contamination between caregivers and patients. Medical gloves are made of different polymers including latex, nitrile rubber, vinyl and neoprene. The coefficient of friction (hereinafter referred to as “COF”) of the medical gloves should meet special requirements for clinical operation. To be specific, the COF of the internal surface of medical gloves should be relatively low so that it can be easy [...]

The Slide Angle Coefficent of Friction Tester is a measurement of a sheet like substrate such as paper, corrugated, plastic film or paperboard which determines the angle of inclination at which one substrate affixed to a sled will begin to slide/ slip another substrate of a similar material. Find out more here! https://en.labthink.com/en-us/product/cof-p01-inclined-surface-coefficient-of-friction-tester.html Features The Coefficient of Friction Tester is professionally applicable to the determination of static coefficients of friction of specimens on the inclined [...]

Coefficient of friction (COF) is one main physical index of plastic film or sheeting, which describes the ratio of force of friction when sliding over itself or other substances at specified conditions. The flexible packaging film should be of proper coefficient of friction otherwise negative effects may be caused during the operation. To be specific, if the coefficient of friction is too high, it will require a higher pulling force to unwind the roll of [...]

Cartons are most common packaging form, which are widely used in the transportation of products. Cartons can protect the products and makes it easy to store and transport the products. Compared with wooden cases, woven bags, plastic boxes and other packaging forms, cartons have many outstanding features including light weight and small volume, meanwhile cartons are easy to make and low in cost. Corrugated cartons are usually used for their unique structure, which can bear [...]

In modern agriculture, the selecting, transportation and sowing of seeds are all realized by automatic mechanization, which also makes a great contribution to the increase of output of grains and income of farmers. The coefficient of friction of the seeds against agricultural machinery may influence the working efficiency greatly. The coefficient of friction is one main factor that shall be considered when selecting surface materials of agricultural machinery and determining related parameters. The raw seeds [...]
