How to Measure the COF of Packaging Materials?

Why the need of COF testing arises?

Measuring the coefficient of friction of any packaging material is a major and significant property that helps to measure the changes that occur in the state of motion. The wrong evaluation of COF leads to numerous safety issues that affect the quality of the packaging material at the time of transportation, warehousing and storage. The coefficient of Friction Tester helps to measure that how much force is required to move material from one place to another. It helps the manufacturers to test the stacking strength and friction of the corrugated boxes. The coefficient of friction tester is the best and highly effective testing device which is used in a large number of packaging industries to measure that how much force is required to move material from one place to another. It also helps the companies to evaluate the stacking strength of corrugated boxes. The COF is the highly effective instrument which is used to test the friction property of the materials.

How do friction forces affect the quality of the Packaging?

Additives that are used in manufacturing industries that usually slide from top surfaces usually cause blooming. If the blooming of the material is not perfect, this will directly change the COF of the material and vice versa. The results of COF are then considered with the result of other packaging material.
