Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction (COF) Testers of Plastic Film and Sheeting

An article by Yarina Gao    No Comments

Static and kinetic coefficients of friction are related to the slip properties of plastic films that are of wide interest in packaging applications. By testing the frictional properties of materials, the technical indexes could be controlled to meet requirements for production.

How can we get the Static and kinetic coefficients of friction of plastic films and sheetings? ASTM D1894 descirbes a standard test method for static and kinetic coefficients of friction of plastic film and sheeting. Therefore, Static and kinetic coefficients of friction testers are mainly according to this standard ASTM D1894.

Labthink Instruments co., Ltd has a series of coefficients of friction testers for plastic films and sheetings as well as rubber, paper and paper board, PP woven bags, fabrics, metal-plastic composite belts for communication cables, convey belts, wood, coatings, brake pads, windshield wipers, shoe materials and tyres.

MXD-02 Coefficients of Friction Tester applies to ISO 8295 as well as ASTM D1894 and this instrument can test the static and kinetic coefficients of friction.

Beacause of the unique design, the testing result can be reach 0.5% of Reading Value.

The sliding plane and the sled are treated by degaussing and remanence detection which effectively reduce the system error.

Besides MXD-02, Labthink also has another coefficients of Friction tester MXD-01A. it is very similar with MXD-02, but with lower testing accuracy. This tester’s accuracy is 1% of reading Value.
