What is a Coefficient of Friction Tester and Why is It Important?

A Coefficient of Friction Tester is an essential device used to measure the frictional properties of materials such as films, paper, and coatings. It determines the static and kinetic friction between two surfaces, providing insights into material behavior during handling, packaging, and transportation. Industries like packaging, automotive, and textiles rely on COF testers to ensure product quality and safety. By identifying slip resistance and surface smoothness, this tool helps manufacturers improve material performance and meet industry standards efficiently.
