Have you ever imagined why some plastic packaging material is smoother than other? You might already have answer in your mind –the friction is different.
Friction is an important factor to evaluate the quality of packaging material.
If we add different kinds of additives to packaging material, we can create different packaging solutions by changing its friction.
The difficulty now is, how do we measure friction?
ASTM D1894 specifies a complete test condition and procedure: The objective is to prepare one piece of plastic film and one piece of sheeting and slide them over each other to determine the static and kinetic friction values.
TESTRON’s COF tester measure coefficients of friction (Static and kinetic) of flexible materials, rubber, Plastic films, textiles.
