The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised is a high-precision testing instrument engineered to determine the static and kinetic coefficients of friction between two surfaces. It plays a vital role in assessing the “slip” or “anti-slip” properties of materials such as plastic films, paper, laminates, foils, flexible packaging materials, and textiles.
The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised is a precision testing instrument designed to measure the static and kinetic friction of materials such as plastic films, paper, laminates, and packaging sheets. This advanced model combines digital accuracy with computerised data recording and analysis, allowing users to evaluate the slip properties of surfaces with high repeatability and reliability. Built with a robust mechanism and user-friendly interface, it provides accurate readings to ensure product consistency and quality control in various industries.
The tester operates by placing a sample material on a flat test platform while a sled or block is placed over it. As the motorized unit pulls the sled at a controlled speed, the instrument measures the force required to initiate and maintain motion between the two surfaces.
The system then calculates the Static Coefficient of Friction (COF) and Kinetic Coefficient of Friction (COF) automatically.
With the digital-cum-computerised feature, the instrument not only displays real-time readings but also allows data to be stored, analyzed, and printed through specialized software for precise documentation and research.
The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised is widely used across industries where surface slip properties are critical, including:

Coefficient of friction reveals the stack ability of plastic films. Friction could result from uneven film thickness which leads to uneven film strength. Coefficient of friction tester tells about the degree of abuse a plastic film will sustain without damaging the contents.
Optional:
Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) measures the force required to start movement between two surfaces.
Kinetic Coefficient of Friction (KCOF) measures the force needed to maintain movement once it has started.
The tester accurately calculates both to provide a complete understanding of material behavior during handling and processing.
The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised complies with international standards such as ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, and TAPPI T549, ensuring globally accepted and accurate results.
It is widely used in:
The tester can be used for a wide range of materials, including:
Plastic films and sheets
Paper and paperboard
Foils and laminates
Textile fabrics
Coated or printed materials
Flexible packaging films
In the packaging industry, the slip properties of films determine how well materials move through automated machinery. Too much friction can cause jamming, while too little can cause sliding or misalignment. COF testing ensures materials perform smoothly during processing and end use.

We all know that friction testing is considered to be a crucial aspect of quality control, especially in the case of flexible packaging films. The co-efficient of packaging can significantly impact how easily the package will slide or move during transit. A low COF can cause the package to slide too easily, risking damage to its contents. Conversely, a high COF can make the package difficult to handle, potentially causing delays.
