A Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester is an essential instrument used to measure the slip properties of packaging materials such as plastic films, paper, and laminates. It helps determine how materials interact under frictional force, both static and kinetic.
Importance in Quality Control:
By identifying the frictional resistance of surfaces, manufacturers can ensure that packaging materials perform well during filling, sealing, stacking, and transportation. A low or inconsistent COF can lead to slippage, product damage, or operational delays, especially in high-speed packaging lines.
Industrial Benefits:
Using a COF Tester helps maintain consistency, reduce waste, and meet industry standards. It also supports R&D by enabling the development of materials with tailored surface properties. For industries like food, pharma, and consumer goods, this translates into better shelf performance and customer satisfaction.
