How to Test the COF of Packaging Films?

What is COF?

The coefficient of friction or COF is that property of packaging materials that explains how much force is required to transfer material from one location to another. It also helps the manufacturers to assess the stacking strength of the corrugated or paperboard boxes. COF or coefficient of friction is the highly effective test machine which is used in packaging industries to measure the frictional properties of the materials.

How COF affects the quality of Packaging films?

The COF is one of the major characteristics of the packaging films, plastic sheets and other related materials that help to measure the amount of friction that material has so that it can be kept in a state of motion for a long period without affecting the quality of the product that are packed inside. The irrelevant evaluation of COF of packaging films can lead to many quality defects in the packaging material and can also affect the safety of the goods that are packed inside. The wrong evaluation can also lead to several problems that the manufacturers have to bear at the time of storage, warehousing, transportation, etc.

COF property helps the manufacturers to judge that how much force or pressure is required to move the material from one place to other easily. It also helps the manufacturers to measure the stacking strength of the material to avoid slippage.

Coefficient of Friction Tester for Measuring Friction

The COF of packaging films can be measured easily with the help of COF tester. It is the highly effective test machine which is used in packaging industries to measure the force which is required to move the material easily and to stack it appropriately without causing any damage to the products.
